The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
Some have referred to this report as a fair account of what happened, but this writer does not see it that way.  Seven times the Levite used the pronouns, "I," "me" and "my" along with very slight mention of the concubine.  Furthermore, he failed to report that it was his own shameful cowardice that handed the concubine over to her abusers.  Also, the text does NOT say that the men of Gibeah attempted to kill him; they wanted to abuse him homosexually.  We agree with Boling that the Levite's report aroused all Israel to a state of frenzied wrath, "Persuaded by one man telling half the truth."[8]
