In Judges 19-21, the account of the vile behavior of men in the tribe of Benjamin is told. It takes the dismembered body of a murdered woman to get the attention of the other tribes. A call to action is given and many are killed. Again, it is hard to find redemptive actions here. The book of Judges ends with:
"In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit." If we were third graders making a prediction, we might find these words to be a foreshadowing of better times to come under the rule of a king. Cannot wait to see how that turns out!
