A Levite travels to reclaim his runaway concubine and, lodging overnight in Benjamite Gibeah, is besieged by wicked men who demand him, in a scene echoing Sodom. To save himself he gives them his concubine, whom they abuse all night until she dies at the door. In horror he cuts her body into twelve pieces and sends them throughout Israel to summon the nation.

c. 1100 BCA Levite’s concubine is abused to death at Gibeah in Benjamin, an atrocity recalling Sodom.
