Holy Scripture

Judges 19:28

A church father on this verse
“The Levite, coming out, found her lying there and thought that she dared not lift her head for shame. He began comforting her, since she had succumbed to such injury not willingly but unwillingly. He bade her rise and go home with him. Then, as no answer came, he called her loudly as though to rouse her from sleep.”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — LETTER 33

29And he took his sword, and laid hold of his concubine, and divided her into twelve parts, and sent them to every coast of Israel.
