Judges 20:3-5

The Voice

Israelites: Tell us, what happened to bring about this criminal act?

Levite (standing in front of the assembly): ⁴ I arrived in Gibeah in Benjamin with my mistress. We only wanted to spend the night, ⁵ but the leaders of the city came to the house where we were staying and surrounded it, wanting to attack me. They intended to kill me, but they raped my mistress until she died.
