It's late in the evening, and they are looking for a place to crash for the night. Finding no where, they press forward until they get close to a town called Gibeah. After the sun has set, and no one will take them in they happen upon an old man who is happy to oblige. While everyone is up still and having a good time in the old man's house there comes a knock on the door. A group of men (referred to as Sons of Belial) surround the place and demand the traveling Levite come out so they can gang bang the dude. Refusing to let the Levite be defiled in that way, the old man offers his daughter and the Levite's concubine for the group of men to rape. All night long the men rape these two women. As far as I can tell, both women died as a result of the all-night gang rape. The women's bodies are found on the door step of the house the following morning. The Levite is so ticked off that his concubine (whom he offered in his place) was raped that he personally took a knife and chopped her up in to twelve pieces and had her body scattered in all directions in the land of Israel.
And?

Re: Judges 19

Has anyone read Robert Alter's translation of the Book of Judges? I've just finished it and am now reading through his translation of 1 Samuel. He provides some very excellent commentary on this chapter.

Interested parties can buy it here:
