Judges 20:5
"The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, “I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night."
Key Reflection
This passage describes the Levite recounting his journey to Gibeah as a setting for the tragic events that unfold. His presence there with his concubine foreshadows the subsequent violence and highlights the moral failure of both the inhabitants of Gibeah and those who are supposed to uphold justice, drawing attention to the breakdown in societal and religious duties.
