Portal:Bible/Featured chapter/Judges 19
A Levite and his concubine traveling from Bethlehem enter Gibeah and lodge in the street. An old man persuades them to come into his house. The men outside shout to the old man to bring the traveler out. Instead the concubine is brought out and the men of Gibeah rape and kill her. The Levite traveler then cuts the concubine into twelve pieces and sends one piece to each of the tribes of Israel.
