There is a story in Judges chapter 19 verse 1 - 30 that talks about a man who took his concubine and settle in a town. They have no place to sleep that night, so the man of the house invited them into his house for rest. Later that night some wicked men surrounded the house and ask for the guest (the man that was with his concubine) to come out to have sex with him. The man of the house refused to do so. Rather, he offer the guest's concubine and they took her away and she got raped that whole night. She return in the early morning and laid down at the door. I think she was probably dead, but I could be wrong. So tomorrow her husband was about to leave and saw her lying on the floor near the front of the door, he carried her away and they went back to their hometown. While he was there, He chop her body up into 12 pieces and distributed them to the 12 tribes of Israel.
You can read the story from Judges 19:1-30 here:
Judges 19:1 In those days Israel had no king. Now a Levite who lived in a remote area in the hill country of Ephraim took a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.
Now my question is, why did the man chop her body up?
Does God approved of this or not?
Sending her flesh to 12 tribes?
What is the purpose of this story, because in the last verse (verse 30) it says:
"Everyone who saw it said, "Such a thing has never been seen or done, not since the day the Israelites came up out of Egypt. Think about it! Consider it! Tell us what to do!"
Pretty evil story.
