Dan sends spies to find land. The spies meet Micah. Spies and 600 men from Dan take Micah’s idols and priest (who is quite happy to go). Micah is glum, having had everything taken from him. The Danites conquer Laish, renaming it Dan. They adopt the idolatry that began with Micah.

A Levite marries a concubine from Judah. They separate after she plays the harlot, but are later reconciled at the house of his father-in-law, where he stays for five days. Returning home, the Levite and his concubine decide to stay one night at Gibeah (not Jebus, which is a foreign land that might be hostile). They meet an Ephraimite, who offers them hospitality. Men bang on the door and demand to know the Levite carnally. The Ephraimite offers a compromise – his virgin daughter and the Levite’s concubine. The latter is raped and abused, and dies. The Levite cuts her up into twelve pieces, and sends a piece to each tribe to advertise his outrage.
