Holy Scripture

Judges 20:46

A church father on this verse
“After you found out what transpired in our court, you kept to yourself; therefore, I now summon, as it were, part of my own soul, for I have a friendly yet sorrowful complaint against you for the outrage done to chastity. Was it necessary for an unsurpassed, unheard-of case of virginity to be subjected to a sentence?…”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — LETTER 33
