📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Judges, during a period when Israel was governed by judges instead of kings, a brutal crime in the tribe of Benjamin, specifically the rape and murder of a Levite's concubine, led to outrage among the other tribes. This sparked a civil war as the Israelites demanded justice, but Benjamin refused to surrender the guilty, resulting in a massive battle. The verse describes the devastating aftermath, where the victorious tribes destroyed Benjamin's cities, people, and livestock as an act of retribution.
