And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.

Verse 27 is found in chapter 19 of Judges. The men of Gibeah surround the house and demand to abuse the visitor. The violence results in the death of the concubine, whose body is later divided and sent throughout the tribes of Israel. The account describes one of the darkest scenes in the book without presenting the attackers’ behavior as a model. The horror of Gibeah provokes a national crisis and forces Israel to confront the seriousness of its own internal corruption.
