Civil War with Benjamin

This story absolutely disgusted me. Here we have this Levite (a supposed tribe of God) who is trying to get back to his wife. He goes back, but his father in law keeps making him stay longer and longer. Finally after his father in law lets him go he goes on his journey home. he passes through an Israelite community and find someone who will take him in for the night, but a man comes a pounding and want the Levite so that they can have sex with them. What does this man do? He gives up his wife (offers his daughter too) to not only get raped and beaten but also murdered. Then he cuts up the body and send it around town, With all this it lead to a civil war.

OK, talk about making some horribly wrong choices. Not only by this Levite, but also by the Israelites.They are suppose to be living a Godly life and they are FAR from it! Gosh people, the evil must be purged and in this case with a heavy cost. As a society they/we need to take a stand against evil no matter what the cost. But the big thing to remember is the fact the as a society or a nation or a country we must stay committed to God. By staying committed together, it guards our country or society or even family from the evils one!
