Chapter 19

Judges Nearing the End of the Book Exposes the Truth with its Dire Consequence Having the Law Out of Commission

Imagine A City Or Town Without Laws

Unlawful acts would be prevalent if not rampant.

Now, that is what the Greek book – New Testament is teaching. Christ died to make the law null and void. Just believe in Jesus you shall be saved – from Matthew to Revelation.

You figure that out if G-d’s Laws or Commandments are obsolete brought about by Jesus being nailed on the cross.

*Ask, where is such teaching can be found in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament)?

“The Concubine at Gibeah”

And it was that in those days there was no king in Israel. It happened that there was a Levite man who dwelled in the foothills of Mount Ephraim. He married a concubine wife from Beth-lehem of Judah.
19:1
His concubine deserted him and left him for her father’s house in Beth-lehem of Judah, and she remained there for a period of four months.
19:2
Then her husband rose up and went after her, to cajole her, to bring her back. His attendant was with him, as well as a pair of donkeys. She brought him into her father’s house; the father of the girl saw him and greeted him gladly.
19:3
His father-in-law, the father of the girl, detained him, and he stayed with him for three days. They ate and drank and lodged there.
:4
When the man rose up to go — he and his concubine and his attendant — his father-in-law, the father of the girl, said to him, “See, now, the sun is waning and is about to set; please stay overnight. Behold, it is the time of day to set up camp; spend the night here so that your heart will be at ease, and tomorrow you can arise early for your journey and go to your tent.”
:9
But the man would not consent to stay overnight, and he rose up and left. He arrived as far as opposite Jebus, which is Jerusalem; with him were a pair of laden donkeys, and his concubine was with him.
:10
… Let us not turn into a city of a foreign [people] who are not of the Children of Israel. …
:12
So they passed [Jebus] and went on, and the sun set upon them near Gibeah of Benjamin.
:14
… the local people were Benjamites.
:16
As they were feeling merry, behold — the people of the city, lawless people, surrounded the house, banging on the door, and saying to the old man, the owner of the house, “Send out the man who came to your house, so that we may know him.”
:22
The man who was the owner of the house went out to them. He said to them, “No, my brothers! Please do not be wicked! Since this man has come to my house, do not do this disgusting thing!
:23
But the men were not willing to listen to him. The man grabbed his concubine and thrust [her] outside to them. They knew her and they molested her all night long until the morning; they sent her away as the dawn began to break.
:25
Her master got up in the morning, opened the doors of the house, and left to go on his way, and behold — his concubine wife was fallen at the entrance of the house, with her hands on the threshold!
:27
He said to her, “Get up, let us go!” but there was no answer. He took her upon the donkey, and then the man got up and went to his place.
:28
When he arrived in his house, he took a knife and took hold of his concubine. He sliced her body limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her [parts] throughout all the borders of Israel.
:29
It happened that whoever saw it said, “Such a thing has never happened nor been seen since the day the Children of Israel went up from the Land of Egypt to this day! You must contemplate this, take counsel and speak up!”
:30

1 And it was in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a Levite man dwelling by the edge of the mountain of Ephraim, who took for himself a concubine from Beth- lehem to Judah.
2 And his concubine turned away from him, and went from him to her father’s house, to Beth-lehem of Judah. And she was there for a period, (of) four months.
3 And her husband arose and went after her, to persuade her to return, and his servant was with him, and a team of donkeys. And she brought him into her father’s house, and (when) the father of the girl saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
4 And his father-in-law, the girl’s father, kept him, and he abode with him for three days. And they ate and drank and lodged there.
5 And it was on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart. And the girl’s father said to his son-in-law, “Refresh yourself with a morsel of bread, and afterward you shall depart.”
6 And they sat down and both of them ate together, and they drank. And the girl’s father said to the man, “Accept now and lodge, and let your heart be content.”
7 And the man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he returned and lodged there.
8 And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart, and the girl’s father said, “Refresh yourselves now,” and they tarried until the day declined, and they both ate.
9 And the man rose up to depart, he, his concubine, and his servant. And his father-in-law, the girl’s father, said to him, “Behold, now the day has weakened to set, lodge now, behold it is the resting (part) of the day, lodge here, and your heart will be content, and you will arise early for your way, and go to your dwelling place.”
10 But the man did not want to lodge, and he arose and departed, and came over against Jebus, which was Jerusalem. And with him was a team of saddled donkeys, and his concubine was with him.
11 They were near Jebus as the sun descended very much; and the servant said to his master, “Come now, and let us turn aside to this city of the Jebusites and lodge in it.”
12 And his master said to him, “We will not turn aside into (this) city of heathens, (nor to any other cities) that are not of the children of Israel, but we will journey up to Gibeah.”
13 And he said to his servant, “Come and let us approach to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah or in Ramoh.”
14 And they passed on and went. And the sun set upon them near Gibeah which belonged to Benjamin.
15 And they turned aside there to come and lodge in Gibeah. And he came and sat in the thoroughfare of the city, but no one brought them home to lodge.
16 And behold, an old man came from his work out of the field at evening, and the man was from the mountain of Ephraim, and he resided in Gibeah; but the people of the area were Benjamites.
17 And he raised his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the thoroughfare of the city; and the old man said, “Where are you going and from where do you come?”
18 And he said to him, “We are passing from Beth-lehem of Judah to the edge of the mountain of Ephraim, from there am I, and I went until Beth-lehem of Judah; and I am going to the House of the Lord, and no one takes me home.
19 And also there is straw and provender for our donkeys, and also bread and wine for myself, for your maidservant, and for the lad who is with your servants; there is no want of anything.”
20 And the old man said, “Peace be to you, just let all your needs be upon me, but do not lodge in the street.”
21 And he brought him into his house, and gave fodder to the donkeys, and they washed their feet, ate and drank.
22 As they were enjoying themselves, and behold, the men of the city, men of wickedness, surrounded the house, (and were) beating at the door. And they spoke to the man, the elderly master of the house, saying, “Bring out the man that came into your house, so that we may be intimate with him.”
23 And the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brothers, do not do so wickedly now. Since this man has come into my house, do not commit this disgraceful deed.
24 Here is my virgin daughter, and his concubine, I will bring them out now and (you should) afflict them, and do with them as you please, but to this man do not do this disgraceful act.”
25 But the men did not want to listen to him, and the man grabbed his concubine, and brought her forth to them outside. And they were intimate with her, and abused her the entire night until the morning, and they sent her away when the day began to dawn.
26 And the woman came as the morning began. And she fell down at the entrance of the man’s house, where her master was, until it was light.
27 And her master arose in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way. And behold, the woman, his concubine, was lying after having fallen at the entrance of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
28 And he said to her, “Arise, and let us go,” but no one answered. And he took her upon the donkey, and the man rose up and went to his place.
29 And he came to his house, and took the knife, and took hold of his concubine and cut her into limbs, into twelve pieces, and he sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.
30 And it came to pass anyone that saw (it), would say, “There has not happened nor has there been seen (anything) like this from the day that the children of Israel came up from the land of Egypt until this day; concern yourself about it, take counsel, and speak.”

Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
