Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

cut her: Judges 19:29

folly in Israel: Judges 20:10, Judges 19:23, Genesis 34:7, Joshua 7:15, 2 Samuel 13:12, 2 Samuel 13:13

Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 22:21 - she hath wrought Ezekiel 22:9 - they commit

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces,.... Lest it should be thought that these barbarous creatures, after they had used her in such a manner that occasioned her death, that they had committed this fact also; the Levite takes it to himself, and owns that he did that:

and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; to alarm them, and excite their attention to what had passed, and to raise their indignation against it:

for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel; being guilty of adultery and murder, and would have committed the unnatural crime, if they could have had an opportunity of doing it.
