Judges 20:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 And the [a]men of Gibeah arose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, thinking to have slain me, and have forced my concubine that she is dead.
6 Then I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent [b]her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed abomination and villainy in Israel.
7 Behold, ye are all children of Israel, give your advice, and counsel herein.
