KJV summary for : Judges 19
Summary: Judges 19 recounts a disturbing story that illustrates the moral decay and lawlessness prevalent in Israel during this period. The chapter focuses on a Levite and his concubine who, after a conflict, leave his home to return to his father's house. The Levite eventually goes to retrieve her, and they travel together to the city of Bethlehem. On their way back, they stop in the town of Gibeah, where they seek lodging but are met with hostility. An elderly man offers them shelter, but that night, a violent mob surrounds the house, demanding to abuse the Levite. To protect himself, the Levite tragically hands over his concubine to the mob, resulting in her death. In the aftermath, the Levite cuts her body into pieces and sends them to the tribes of Israel as a call to action against the atrocity. This chapter underscores themes of betrayal, violence, and the consequences of moral and social disintegration, reflecting the need for justice and communal accountability in Israelite society. It serves as a sobering reminder of the ethical and spiritual decline when there is no king or authority to uphold righteousness.
