Judges 20:5,6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Slain me Except I would either submit to their unnatural lust, which I was resolved to withstand even unto death, or deliver up my concubine to them, which I was forced to do. Lewdness and folly That is, a lewd folly; most ignominious and impudent wickedness.

Judges 20:5-6

5 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced,b that she is dead.

6 And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
