삿17:7 한 레위인을 제사장으로 삼는 미가 
삿 17:7 A young Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, who had been living within the clan of Judah, 
삿 17:8 left that town in search of some other place to stay. On his way he came to Micah's house in the hill country o f Ephraim. 
삿 17:9 Micah asked him, "Where are you from?" "I'm a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah," he said, "and I'm looking for a place to stay." 
삿 17:10 Then Micah said to him, "Live with me and be my father and priest, and I'll give you ten shekels of silve r a year, your clothes and your food." 
삿 17:11 So the Levite agreed to live with him, and the young man was to him like one of his sons. 
삿 17:12 Then Micah installed the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in his house. 
삿 17:13 And Micah said, "Now I know that the LORD will be good to me, since this Levite has become my priest. "

삿18:7 정탐꾼들의 보고 
삿 18:7 So the five men left and came to Laish, where they saw that the people were living in safety, like the Sidonian s, unsuspecting and secure. And since their land lacked nothing, they were prosperous. Also, they lived a long way from the Sidonians and had no relationship with anyone else. 
삿 18:8 When they returned to Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers asked them, "How did you find things?" 
삿 18:9 They answered, "Come on, let's attack them! We have seen that the land is very good. Aren't you going to d o something? Don't hesitate to go there and take it over. 
삿 18:10 When you get there, you will find an unsuspecting people and a spacious land that God has put into your hands, a land that lacks nothing whatever." 

삿18:11 미가의 우상을 강탈하는 단 지파 
삿 18:11 Then six hundred men from the clan of the Danites, armed for battle, set out from Zorah and Eshtaol. 
삿 18:12 On their way they set up camp near Kiriath Jearim in Judah. This is why the place west of Kiriath Jearim is ca lled Mahaneh Dan to this day. 
삿 18:13 From there they went on to the hill country of Ephraim and came to Micah's house. 
삿 18:14 Then the five men who had spied out the land of Laish said to their brothers, "Do you know that one of th ese houses has an ephod, other household gods, a carved image and a cast idol? Now you know what to do." 
삿 18:15 So they turned in there and went to the house of the young Levite at Micah's place and greeted him. 
삿 18:16 The six hundred Danites, armed for battle, stood at the entrance to the gate. 
삿 18:17 The five men who had spied out the land went inside and took the carved image, the ephod, the other household gods and the cast idol while the priest and the six hundred armed men stood at the entrance to the gate. 
삿 18:18 When these men went into Micah's house and took the carved image, the ephod, the other household gods and the cast idol, the priest said to them, "What are you doing?" 
삿 18:19 They answered him, "Be quiet! Don't say a word. Come with us, and be our father and priest. Isn't it bett er that you serve a tribe and clan in Israel as priest rather than just one man's household?" 
삿 18:20 Then the priest was glad. He took the ephod, the other household gods and the carved image and went along with the people. 

삿18:21 미가의 항변과 단 지파의 협박 
삿 18:21 Putting their little children, their livestock and their possessions in front of them, they turned away and le ft. 
삿 18:22 When they had gone some distance from Micah's house, the men who lived near Micah were called together and ove rtook the Danites. 
삿 18:23 As they shouted after them, the Danites turned and said to Micah, "What's the matter with you that you ca lled out your men to fight?" 
삿 18:24 He replied, "You took the gods I made, and my priest, and went away. What else do I have? How can you ask , 'What's the matter with you?'" 
삿 18:25 The Danites answered, "Don't argue with us, or some hot-tempered men will attack you, and you and your fa mily will lose your lives." 
삿 18:26 So the Danites went their way, and Micah, seeing that they were too strong for him, turned around and went bac k home. 

삿18:27 단의 라이스 점령과 우상 숭배 
삿 18:27 Then they took what Micah had made, and his priest, and went on to Laish, against a peaceful and unsuspecting people. They attacked them with the sword and burned down their city. 
삿 18:28 There was no one to rescue them because they lived a long way from Sidon and had no relationship with anyone e lse. The city was in a valley near Beth Rehob. The Danites rebuilt the city and settled there. 
삿 18:29 They named it Dan after their forefather Dan, who was born to Israel--though the city used to be called Laish. 
삿 18:30 There the Danites set up for themselves the idols, and Jonathan son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests for the tribe of Dan until the time of the captivity of the land. 
삿 18:31 They continued to use the idols Micah had made, all the time the house of God was in Shiloh.

삿19:10 첩과 함께온 레위인 
삿 19:10 But, unwilling to stay another night, the man left and went toward Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), with his two sa ddled donkeys and his concubine. 
삿 19:11 When they were near Jebus and the day was almost gone, the servant said to his master, "Come, let's stop at this city of the Jebusites and spend the night." 
삿 19:12 His master replied, "No. We won't go into an alien city, whose people are not Israelites. We will go on t o Gibeah." 
삿 19:13 He added, "Come, let's try to reach Gibeah or Ramah and spend the night in one of those places." 
삿 19:14 So they went on, and the sun set as they neared Gibeah in Benjamin. 
삿 19:15 There they stopped to spend the night. They went and sat in the city square, but no one took them into his hom e for the night. 

삿19:16 기브아에 머물게 된 레위인 
삿 19:16 That evening an old man from the hill country of Ephraim, who was living in Gibeah (the men of the place were Benjamites), came in from his work in the fields. 
삿 19:17 When he looked and saw the traveler in the city square, the old man asked, "Where are you going? Where di d you come from?" 
삿 19:18 He answered, "We are on our way from Bethlehem in Judah to a remote area in the hill country of Ephraim w here I live. I have been to Bethlehem in Judah and now I am going to the house of the LORD. No one has taken me into his house. 
삿 19:19 We have both straw and fodder for our donkeys and bread and wine for ourselves your servants--me, your maidser vant, and the young man with us. We don't need anything." 
삿 19:20 "You are welcome at my house," the old man said. "Let me supply whatever you need. Only don't s pend the night in the square." 
삿 19:21 So he took him into his house and fed his donkeys. After they had washed their feet, they had something to eat and drink. 

삿19:22 기브아 비류들의 범죄 
삿 19:22 While they were enjoying themselves, some of the wicked men of the city surrounded the house. Pounding on the door, they shouted to the old man who owned the house, "Bring out the man who came to your house so we can have sex with him." 
삿 19:23 The owner of the house went outside and said to them, "No, my friends, don't be so vile. Since this man i s my guest, don't do this disgraceful thing. 
삿 19:24 Look, here is my virgin daughter, and his concubine. I will bring them out to you now, and you can use them an d do to them whatever you wish. But to this man, don't do such a disgraceful thing." 
삿 19:25 But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they rape d her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. 
삿 19:26 At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight. 
삿 19:27 When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. 
삿 19:28 He said to her, "Get up; let's go." But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home. 
삿 19:29 When he reached home, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, limb by limb, into twelve parts and sent them into all the areas of Israel. 
삿 19:30 Everyone who saw it said, "Such a thing has never been seen or done, not since the day the Israelites cam e up out of Egypt. Think about it! Consider it! Tell us what to do!"

삿20:8 이스라엘 총회의 결의 
삿 20:8 All the people rose as one man, saying, "None of us will go home. No, not one of us will return to his hou se. 
삿 20:9 But now this is what we'll do to Gibeah: We'll go up against it as the lot directs. 
삿 20:10 We'll take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred from a thousand, and a th ousand from ten thousand, to get provisions for the army. Then, when the army arrives at Gibeah in Benjamin, it can give them what they deserve for all this vileness done in Israel." 
삿 20:11 So all the men of Israel got together and united as one man against the city. 

삿20:12 베냐민 지파의 불복종 
삿 20:12 The tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What about this awful crime that was committed among you? 
삿 20:13 Now surrender those wicked men of Gibeah so that we may put them to death and purge the evil from Israel. " But the Benjamites would not listen to their fellow Israelites. 
삿 20:14 From their towns they came together at Gibeah to fight against the Israelites. 
삿 20:15 At once the Benjamites mobilized twenty-six thousand swordsmen from their towns, in addition to seven hundred chosen men from those living in Gibeah. 
삿 20:16 Among all these soldiers there were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed, each of whom could sling a stone at a hair and not miss. 

삿20:17 연합군 지파의 패배 
삿 20:17 Israel, apart from Benjamin, mustered four hundred thousand swordsmen, all of them fighting men. 
삿 20:18 The Israelites went up to Bethel and inquired of God. They said, "Who of us shall go first to fight again st the Benjamites?" The LORD replied, "Judah shall go first." 
삿 20:19 The next morning the Israelites got up and pitched camp near Gibeah. 
삿 20:20 The men of Israel went out to fight the Benjamites and took up battle positions against them at Gibeah. 
삿 20:21 The Benjamites came out of Gibeah and cut down twenty-two thousand Israelites on the battlefield that day. 
삿 20:22 But the men of Israel encouraged one another and again took up their positions where they had stationed themse lves the first day. 
삿 20:23 The Israelites went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and they inquired of the LORD. They said, "Shall we go up again to battle against the Benjamites, our brothers?" The LORD answered, "Go up against them." 
삿 20:24 Then the Israelites drew near to Benjamin the second day. 
삿 20:25 This time, when the Benjamites came out from Gibeah to oppose them, they cut down another eighteen thousand Is raelites, all of them armed with swords. 
삿 20:26 Then the Israelites, all the people, went up to Bethel, and there they sat weeping before the LORD. They faste d that day until evening and presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to the LORD. 
삿 20:27 And the Israelites inquired of the LORD. (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there, 
삿 20:28 with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, ministering before it.) They asked, "Shall we go up again to battle with Benjamin our brother, or not?" The LORD responded, "Go, for tomorrow I will give them into you r hands." 

삿20:29 세 번째의 싸움 
삿 20:29 Then Israel set an ambush around Gibeah. 
삿 20:30 They went up against the Benjamites on the third day and took up positions against Gibeah as they had done bef ore. 
삿 20:31 The Benjamites came out to meet them and were drawn away from the city. They began to inflict casualties on th e Israelites as before, so that about thirty men fell in the open field and on the roads--the one leading to Bethel and the other to Gibeah. 
삿 20:32 While the Benjamites were saying, "We are defeating them as before," the Israelites were saying, "Let's retreat and draw them away from the city to the roads." 
삿 20:33 All the men of Israel moved from their places and took up positions at Baal Tamar, and the Israelite ambush ch arged out of its place on the west of Gibeah. 
삿 20:34 Then ten thousand of Israel's finest men made a frontal attack on Gibeah. The fighting was so heavy that the B enjamites did not realize how near disaster was. 
삿 20:35 The LORD defeated Benjamin before Israel, and on that day the Israelites struck down 25,100 Benjamites, all ar med with swords. 

삿20:36 베냐민 지파의 참패 
삿 20:36 Then the Benjamites saw that they were beaten. Now the men of Israel had given way before Benjamin, because th ey relied on the ambush they had set near Gibeah. 
삿 20:37 The men who had been in ambush made a sudden dash into Gibeah, spread out and put the whole city to the sword. 
삿 20:38 The men of Israel had arranged with the ambush that they should send up a great cloud of smoke from the city, 
삿 20:39 and then the men of Israel would turn in the battle. The Benjamites had begun to inflict casualties on the men of Israel (about thirty), and they said, "We are defeating them as in the first battle." 
삿 20:40 But when the column of smoke began to rise from the city, the Benjamites turned and saw the smoke of the whole city going up into the sky. 
삿 20:41 Then the men of Israel turned on them, and the men of Benjamin were terrified, because they realized that disa ster had come upon them. 
삿 20:42 So they fled before the Israelites in the direction of the desert, but they could not escape the battle. And t he men of Israel who came out of the towns cut them down there. 
삿 20:43 They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them and easily overran them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east. 
삿 20:44 Eighteen thousand Benjamites fell, all of them valiant fighters. 

삿20:45 베냐민 지파의 멸망 
삿 20:45 As they turned and fled toward the desert to the rock of Rimmon, the Israelites cut down five thousand men alo ng the roads. They kept pressing after the Benjamites as far as Gidom and struck down two thousand more. 
삿 20:46 On that day twenty-five thousand Benjamite swordsmen fell, all of them valiant fighters. 
삿 20:47 But six hundred men turned and fled into the desert to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed four months. 
삿 20:48 The men of Israel went back to Benjamin and put all the towns to the sword, including the animals and everythi ng else they found. All the towns they came across they set on fire.

삿21:13 이스라엘과 베냐민 지파의 화목 
삿 21:13 Then the whole assembly sent an offer of peace to the Benjamites at the rock of Rimmon. 
삿 21:14 So the Benjamites returned at that time and were given the women of Jabesh Gilead who had been spared. But the re were not enough for all of them. 
삿 21:15 The people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a gap in the tribes of Israel. 

삿21:16 생존자를 위한 장로들의 의논 
삿 21:16 And the elders of the assembly said, "With the women of Benjamin destroyed, how shall we provide wives fo r the men who are left? 
삿 21:17 The Benjamite survivors must have heirs," they said, "so that a tribe of Israel will not be wiped ou t. 
삿 21:18 We can't give them our daughters as wives, since we Israelites have taken this oath: 'Cursed be anyone who giv es a wife to a Benjamite.' 
삿 21:19 But look, there is the annual festival of the LORD in Shiloh, to the north of Bethel, and east of the road tha t goes from Bethel to Shechem, and to the south of Lebonah." 
삿 21:20 So they instructed the Benjamites, saying, "Go and hide in the vineyards 
삿 21:21 and watch. When the girls of Shiloh come out to join in the dancing, then rush from the vineyards and each of you seize a wife from the girls of Shiloh and go to the land of Benjamin. 
삿 21:22 When their fathers or brothers complain to us, we will say to them, 'Do us a kindness by helping them, because we did not get wives for them during the war, and you are innocent, since you did not give your daughters to them.' " 
삿 21:23 So that is what the Benjamites did. While the girls were dancing, each man caught one and carried her off to b e his wife. Then they returned to their inheritance and rebuilt the towns and settled in them. 
삿 21:24 At that time the Israelites left that place and went home to their tribes and clans, each to his own inheritan ce. 
삿 21:25 In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit.
