This song is a somewhat shortened account of the events described in Judges 19 and 20. Judges 19 talks of a Levite's concubine running home and meeting her father. As they leave, the events leading up to her rape and death close the chapter. In chapter 20 the call to war against the Benjamites and the inevitable massacre follows. The Tribe of Benjamin was reduced to six hundred men.
