Judges 20:4 in Context — Judges 20
2 Les chefs de tout le peuple, toutes les tribus d’Israël, se présentèrent dans l’assemblée du peuple de Dieu: quatre cent mille hommes de pied, tirant l’épée.
3 Et les fils de Benjamin apprirent que les enfants d’Israël étaient montés à Mitspa. Les enfants d’Israël dirent: Parlez, comment ce crime a-t-il été commis?
4 Alors le Lévite, le mari de la femme qui avait été tuée, prit la parole, et dit: J’étais arrivé, avec ma concubine, à Guibea de Benjamin, pour y passer la nuit.
5 Les habitants de Guibea se sont soulevés contre moi, et ont entouré pendant la nuit la maison où j’étais. Ils avaient l’intention de me tuer, et ils ont fait violence à ma concubine, et elle est morte.
6 J’ai saisi ma concubine, et je l’ai coupée en morceaux, que j’ai envoyés dans tout le territoire de l’héritage d’Israël; car ils ont commis un crime et une infamie en Israël.
