Judges 19:27-29

Good News Translation

²⁷ Her husband got up that morning, and when he opened the door to go on his way, he found his concubine lying in front of the house with her hands reaching for the door. ²⁸ He said, “Get up. Let's go.” But there was no answer. So he put her body across the donkey and started on his way home. ^29 (A)When he arrived, he went in the house and got a knife. He took his concubine's body, cut it into twelve pieces, and sent one piece to each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
