#98: Judges 20 | A holy civil war

This episode begins with everyone in Israel assembling before the Lord after receiving a rotting body-part message in the mail. They ask God (and the 450 year-old Phinehas) what to do and he tells them to fight against the tribe of Benjamín (where the incident about the Levite's concubine occurred). So they do that, and kill every Benjaminite man, woman, child, and baby - except for 600 men who somehow survived the genocide. The text and notes for this episode can be found here.
