Summary: Slutty concubine commits adultery and gets her comeuppance. Praise! However, many new age "Christians" -- who are NIV-positive, a condition as deadly to the soul as HIV is potentially to the body -- make all sorts of excuses for Judges 19. I won't sully this post which such excuses.
Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. (Judges 22-24)
As with Lot and his incestuous daughters (poor fellow never stood a chance), it pays to have a few women handy should a mob of randy sinners visit your home; the integrity of men's backsides must be preserved at all costs, even if that cost is the virginity of your daughter -- or the life of your concubine. So precious is the delicate flower which is the male orifice; my eyes well up with tears every time I think about such matters.
