રાતના સમયે ગિબયાના સંબંધીઓએ મારા પર હુમલો કર્યો અને ઘરને ઘેરીને મને મારી નાખવાનો વિચાર કર્યો. તેઓએ મારી ઉપપત્ની પર બળાત્કાર કર્યો અને તે મરણ પામી.
हिन्दीन्यायियों २०:५

In context

3(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?”

4The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, “I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.

5The men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night. They intended to kill me and they raped my concubine, and she is dead.

6I took my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.

7Behold, you children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.”
