[:en]That young Levite was a very bad example of a spiritual leader. Aside from having a concubine, he was a man fond of eating, drinking and enjoying life. When he and his concubine set for home and stopped at the city square near Gibeah, a man welcomed them to his house. But some wicked men surrounded the house and asked the man to bring out the Levite to commit sexual immorality with him. The man refused and instead sent out his virgin daughter and the concubine. They were raped and abused. At daybreak, his concubine was dead. He put her on his donkey and when he reached home, he cut up his concubine limb by limb into 12 pieces and sent them into all areas of Israel (v/ 29).
*When spiritual leaders fail to obey God and set godly examples, the church will suffer*[:]
