Verse 16 is found in chapter 20 of Judges. Israel decides to go against Gibeah and demands that Benjamin hand over the guilty men. Benjamin refuses and gathers an army to defend the city. The refusal turns a localized crime into civil war. The narrative emphasizes Israel’s deep fracture: one tribe chooses to protect those responsible rather than submit them to the judgment of the national assembly.
