What can we learn in Judges 19:20-29?
Is there any thing for us as the body of Christ in this verses?

Jdg 19:20 And the old man said, "Peace be to you; I will care for all your wants. Only, do not spend the night in the square."
Jdg 19:21 So he brought him into his house and gave the donkeys feed. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
Jdg 19:22 As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, worthless fellows, surrounded the house, beating on the door. And they said to the old man, the master of the house, "Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may know him."
Jdg 19:23 And the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my brothers, do not act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, do not do this vile thing.
Jdg 19:24 Behold, here are my virgin daughter and his concubine. Let me bring them out now. Violate them and do with them what seems good to you, but against this man do not do this outrageous thing."
Jdg 19:25 But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine and made her go out to them. And they knew her and abused her all night until the morning. And as the dawn began to break, they let her go.
Jdg 19:26 And as morning appeared, the woman came and fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, until it was light.
Jdg 19:27 And her master rose up in the morning, and when he opened the doors of the house and went out to go on his way, behold, there was his concubine lying at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
Jdg 19:28 He said to her, "Get up, let us be going." But there was no answer. Then he put her on the donkey, and the man rose up and went away to his home.
Jdg 19:29 And when he entered his house, he took a knife, and taking hold of his concubine he divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of Israel.

We read that there was no king in Israel!
Then we read that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, where he was not supost to be he was supost to be in the house of God! (The Temple)
What was a Levite doing with a harlot in the first palce?, did it not he knew the law of God?

Num 3:6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, so that they may minister to him.

Num 8:6 Take the Levites from among the sons of Israel, and purify them.

Num 8:14 So you shall separate the Levites from among the sons of Israel. And the Levites shall be Mine.

Num 3:12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of all the first-born that open the womb from the sons of Israel. Therefore the Levites shall be Mine.
