You have sunk very deep into sin, just as your people did at Gibeah long ago. God will remember the evil things they have done. He will punish them for their sins.

“ Israel, you are not faithful to me. But I do not want Judah to become guilty too.“ My people, do not go to Gilgal to offer sacrifices. Do not go up to Bethel to worship other gods. When you make a promise, do not say,‘ You can be sure that the Lord is alive.’

Priests, blow the trumpets in Zion. Give a warning on my holy mountain. Let everyone who lives in the land tremble with fear. The day of the Lord is coming. It is very near.

“ Announce my message in Judah. Tell it in Jerusalem. Say,‘ Blow trumpets all through the land!’ Give a loud shout and say,‘ Gather together! Let’s run to cities that have high walls around them!’

Then Samuel left to go to Ramah. But Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.

Some came from the part of Ephraim where some Amalekites lived. Some from Benjamin were with the people who followed Ephraim. Captains came down from Makir. Those who rule like commanders came down from Zebulun.

They have marched through the pass there. They said,“ Let’s camp for the night at Geba.” The people of Ramah tremble with fear. Those who live in Gibeah of Saul run away.

The Lord said to me,“ Put a trumpet to your lips! Give a warning to my people! Assyria is like an eagle. It is ready to attack my land. My people have broken the covenant I made with them. They have refused to obey my law.

So let seven of the males in his family line be given to us. We’ll kill them. We’ll put their dead bodies out in the open in the sight of the Lord. We’ll do it at Gibeah of Saul. Saul was the Lord’ s chosen king.” So King David said,“ I’ll give seven males to you.”

Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai. Ai is near Beth Aven east of Bethel. Joshua told the men,“ Go up and check out the area around Ai.” So the men went up and checked it out.

The people who live in Samaria are filled with fear. They are afraid for their god that looks like a calf. They’re afraid it will be carried off from Beth Aven, that evil town. They will mourn over it. So will the priests who led them to worship it. The priests were full of joy because their statue was so glorious. But it will be captured and taken far away from them.

So all the elders of Israel gathered together. They came to Samuel at Ramah.

But he always went back to Ramah. That’s where his home was. He served Israel as judge there too. And he built an altar there to honor the Lord.

So the Levite spoke. He was the husband of the woman who had been murdered. He said,“ I and my concubine went to Gibeah in Benjamin. We spent the night there.During the night the men of Gibeah came after me. They surrounded the house. They were planning to kill me. They raped my concubine, and she died.I took my concubine and cut her into pieces. I sent one piece to each part of Israel’s territory. I did it because the men of Gibeah had done a very terrible thing in Israel.

The high places where Israel worshiped other gods will be destroyed. That’s where they sinned against the Lord. Thorns and weeds will grow up there. They will cover the altars. Then the people will say to the mountains,“ Cover us!” They’ll say to the hills,“ Fall on us!”The Lord says,“ Israel, you have done evil things ever since your people sinned at Gibeah long ago. And you are still doing what is evil. War will come again to those who sinned at Gibeah.

Priests, blow the trumpets in Zion. Announce a holy fast. Tell the people not to eat anything. Gather them together for a special service.

He set up one statue in Bethel. He set up the other one in Dan.

His master replied,“ No. We won’t go into any city where strangers live. The people there aren’t Israelites. We’ll continue on to Gibeah.”He added,“ Come. Let’s try to reach Gibeah or Ramah. We can spend the night in one of those places.”So they continued on. As they came near Gibeah in Benjamin, the sun went down.They stopped there to spend the night. They went to the city’s main street and sat down. But no one took them home for the night.

The Lord says,“ People of Benjamin, run for safety! Run away from Jerusalem! Blow trumpets in the city of Tekoa! Warn everyone in Beth Hakkerem! Horrible trouble is coming from the north. The Babylonians will destroy everything with awful power.
