Tell

was
this
wickedness

strkjv@Judges:20:4
@ And the

came
into

strkjv@Judges:20:5
@ And the
men

thought
to have
slain
me: and my
concubine
have they
forced
, that she is
dead

strkjv@Judges:20:6
@ And I
took
my
concubine
, and cut her in
pieces

sent
her throughout all the

committed
lewdness
