Judges 19

It took me about 5 minutes to read this story. It is an aweful story that depicts the end result of those who's lives are lived with no godly purpose. As long as their stomachs are full and their bed is warm and dry godless men with turn to greater levels of self indulgence. The most obvious will be the perversion of their sexual desires. The Benjamite men of Gibeah wanted to humiliate and overpower this traveller. They were not given that opportunity so they abuses his concubine until she was mortally wounded and did not survive the night. These men of Gibeah had become not decendants of Abraham, but rather decendants of those whom God had destroyed from the land. They gave up the promises of God to satisfy the passions of their unrestrained flesh.
