Contextual Overview
1 Toe het al die kinders van Israel uitgetrek, en die vergadering het soos een man, van Dan tot Berséba, saam met die land Gílead, byeengekom by die HERE in Mispa; 2 en die hoofde van die hele volk, van al die stamme van Israel, het in die vergadering van die volk van God gaan staan--vier honderd duisend man te voet wat die swaard uittrek. 3 En die kinders van Benjamin het gehoor dat die kinders van Israel opgetrek het na Mispa. Toe sê die kinders van Israel: Vertel julle hoe hierdie misdaad gepleeg is. 4 Daarop antwoord die Levitiese man, die man van die vermoorde vrou, en sê: Ek het in Gíbea wat aan Benjamin behoort, gekom, ek en my byvrou, om te vernag. 5 En die burgers van Gíbea het teen my opgestaan en in vyandskap teen my die huis omsingel in die nag; hulle het gemeen om my dood te maak, en my byvrou het hulle onteer, sodat sy gesterf het. 6 Toe het ek my byvrou gegryp en haar in stukke verdeel en haar rondgestuur in die hele gebied van die erfdeel van Israel, omdat hulle 'n gruwel en 'n skanddaad in Israel begaan het. 7 Hier is julle, kinders van Israel, nou almal: gee julle hier woord en raad! 8 Toe staan die hele volk op soos een man en sê: Geeneen van ons sal na sy tent toe gaan en geeneen van ons wegdraai na sy huis toe nie; 9 maar dit is nou die ding wat ons Gíbea sal aandoen: Op teen hom volgens die lot! 10 Ons sal naamlik tien man neem uit elke honderd van al die stamme van Israel, en honderd uit duisend, en duisend uit tien duisend, om padkos vir die manskappe te gaan haal, om as hulle gekom het, met Gíbea-Benjamin te handel volgens die skanddaad wat hy in Israel begaan het.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Behold, ye are all children of Israel,.... The descendants of one man that feared the Lord; were of one nation, and of one religion, men professing godliness, and therefore ought to bear testimony against sin and wickedness of every sort, and especially such crying abominations as these:
give your advice and counsel: in this place, being assembled together on this occasion; consult what is best to be done, and let every man speak his mind freely what step he thinks should be taken for the glory of God, and honour of religion, and to bring such persons to justice who had committed so foul a fact.
