A horrific crime nearly wipes out an entire tribe of Israel in a devastating civil war.
When a Levite's concubine is brutally assaulted and killed by men of Gibeah in Benjamin's territory, the other tribes demand justice. Benjamin refuses to hand over the guilty men, and civil war erupts. After two devastating defeats, Israel finally prevails, nearly annihilating the tribe of Benjamin. The surviving 600 Benjamite men are given wives through desperate measures. It's the darkest chapter of Judges — showing just how far Israel has fallen without godly leadership.
Judges
The Night That Broke a Nation
A Levite sets out to bring his concubine home. What should have been a simple journey turns into the most horrifying night in Israel's history — an unflinching look at what happens when an entire people loses its moral compass and no one is left to lead.
Judges
The War Nobody Won
After the horror at Gibeah, all of Israel assembles for justice. When Benjamin refuses to hand over the guilty, civil war erupts — and the cost is staggering. Forty thousand Israelites fall before God finally grants victory, and an entire tribe is nearly erased from existence.
Judges
Right in Their Own Eyes
The civil war against Benjamin is over, but the fallout is just beginning. Trapped by their own rash oaths, the Israelites come up with two increasingly horrifying plans to keep a tribe from vanishing — and the final verse of the entire book tells you exactly how they got here.
