4 So the husband of the murdered woman answered, “My slave woman and I came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night.
5 During the night the men of Gibeah came after me. They surrounded the house and wanted to kill me. They forced my slave woman to have sexual relations and she died.
6 I took her and cut her into parts and sent one part to each area of Israel because the people of Benjamin did this wicked and terrible thing in Israel.
7 Now, all you Israelites, speak up. What is your decision?”
8 Then all the people stood up at the same time, saying, “None of us will go home. Not one of us will go back to his house!
9 Now this is what we will do to Gibeah. We will throw lots.
10 That way we will choose ten men from every hundred men from all the tribes of Israel, and we will choose a hundred men from every thousand, and a thousand men from every ten thousand. These will find supplies for the army. Then the army will go to the city of Gibeah of Benjamin to repay them for the terrible thing they have done in Israel.”
