The sin of Benjamin
People from a village of the tribe of Benjamin raped a visitor's wife to death. This was very evil, especially in the ancient Near East. The people of Israel considered mistreatment of a guest one of the worst crimes. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/evil)
