Holy Scripture

Judges 20:22

A church father on this verse
“And when at first the people of Israel were defeated, yet unmoved by fear at the reverses of the war, they disregarded the sorrow the avenging of chastity cost them. They rushed into the battle ready to wash out with their own blood the stains of the crime that had been committed.”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — On the Duties of the Clergy 3.19.115-16
