Judges 20:6 in Context — Judges 20

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.

7 Vous voici tous, enfants d’Israël; consultez-vous, et prenez ici une décision!

8 Tout le peuple se leva comme un seul homme, en disant: Nul de nous n’ira dans sa tente, et personne ne retournera dans sa maison.
