Judges 20:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ That night some important men of Gibeah came to the house to attack me. They stood all around the house. They wanted to kill me, but they took hold of my wife instead. They made her have sex with them, and she died. ⁶ I took her body home and I cut it into 12 pieces. I sent the pieces everywhere in the land of Israel. I did this to show what a terrible thing these men had done. ⁷ So now all you people of Israel must decide what you will do about it.’
