5. The citizens of Gibeah came to attack me. They surrounded the house ⌊where I was staying⌋ that night. They intended to kill me, but instead, they raped my concubine until she died.
6. So I took my concubine and cut her into pieces. Then I sent the pieces throughout the territory of Israel. I did this because the citizens of Gibeah did this perverted and godless thing in Israel.
7. All you people of Israel, tell me what you think. Give me your advice right now!”
8. All the people stood united, saying, “None of us will go to his tent or return to his house.
9. This is what we’ll do to Gibeah. We’ll decide by lot who should attack it.
