Judges 19:22

²²Illis epulantibus, et post laborem itineris cibo et potu reficientibus corpora, venerunt viri civitatis illius, filii Belial (id est, absque jugo), et circumdantes domum senis, fores pulsare cperunt, clamantes ad dominum domus atque dicentes: Educ virum, qui ingressus est domum tuam, ut abutamur eo.a

Judges 19 recounts a horrifying story of depravity within Israel, illustrating the moral chaos that prevailed when “everyone did what was right in their own eyes.” A Levite and his concubine travel through Gibeah, a Benjaminite town, where they are subjected to extreme violence. The concubine is raped and murdered, leading the Levite to dismember her body and send the pieces throughout Israel, a shocking call for justice that ignites civil war in the following chapters. This narrative serves as a stark warning about societal breakdown without proper leadership and adherence to God's law.
