The sin of the men of Gibeah, the subsequent chopping up of the Levite's bride, and delivery of her body parts throughout the land caused the entire nation of Israel, those tribes that did not include Benjamin, to respond in horror. They couldn't believe it, the sin of the people of God had grown to such a point that something like this was possible, and yet there were still those outraged at it, and of course, rightly so. Yet as we will see, even the rest of Israel was guilty of great sin, and though they were outraged at the violence they had seen, Israel would learn that the path to victory, to removing the stain of sin in their midst required more than outrage at the really bad sins, but repentance of all sin and devotion to God's blessed covenant.
