Judges 20:5 in Context — Judges 20
3 E os filhos de Benjamim ouviram que os filhos de Israel haviam subido a Mispá. E disseram os filhos de Israel: Dizei como foi esta maldade.
4 Então o homem levita, marido da mulher morta, respondeu e disse: Eu cheguei a Gibeá de Benjamim com minha concubina, para ter ali a noite.
5 E levantando-se contra mim os de Gibeá, cercaram sobre mim a casa de noite, com ideia de matar-me, e oprimiram minha concubina de tal maneira, que ela foi morta.
6 Então tomando eu minha concubina, cortei-a em peças, e enviei-as por todo aquele termo da possessão de Israel: porquanto fizeram maldade e crime em Israel.
7 Eis que todos vós os filhos de Israel estais presentes; dai-vos aqui parecer e conselho.
