Judges 19:27-29

International Standard Version

²⁷ When her master got up that morning and opened the doors of the house to leave on his way, there was his mistress, fallen dead at the door of the house with her hands grasping the threshold.

²⁸ He spoke to her, “Get up, and let’s go.”

But there was no response. So he placed her on the donkey, mounted his own animal,^[a] and went home. ²⁹ When he arrived home, he grabbed a knife, took hold of his mistress, cut her apart limb by limb into twelve pieces, and sent her remains^[b] throughout the land of Israel.
