It happened in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill-country of Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehem Judah.
"And his concubine played the harlot against him"  (Judges 19:2).  This is a disputed passage, several able scholars claiming that it should be rendered, "she became angry with him," as in the RSV.  However, Dalglish rejected this change, affirming that, "There is no need to adopt it, and that the concubine played the harlot against her husband."[3]
