Week 13 - Immorality, Disunity, and Legalism

Chapters 19-21 continue the appendix to the Book of Judges, featuring materials not presented in chronological sequence. Chapter 19 details the actions of a Levite who had taken a wife only to see her be unfaithful to him. As we go through the chapter, we see a man supposed to be a servant of God act in immoral and wicked ways. How he handled the crime against his concubine explodes into a national controversy and the near destruction of the tribe of Benjamin. What happened in these events is explained in Chapters 20-21.
