Judges 19:28
And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place. And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going.

Judges 19:28 belongs to chapters 17-21, which record events that occurred in the early part of the history of the judges, while the main story of the book ends with chapter 16. It belongs to the account of the crime at Gibeah, the disgraceful murder of the Levite's concubine at Gibeah of Benjamin, with whose people the whole tribe of Benjamin identified, which nearly resulted in the extermination of the tribe of Benjamin. Gibeah means "high"; it lies opposite the road just past Mizpeh on the right within an hour's walk from Jerusalem, stands 2,690 feet above the sea about 200 feet higher than Jerusalem, and commands a fine view even beyond the Dead Sea far into the mountains of Moab.
The record portrays Israel's backsliding and the extreme immorality prevailing when people did what seemed right in their own eyes. Its resulting disgrace and punishment warn that such sin cannot be done with impunity. The chapter's events show that human judgment without God's revelation can be perverted so that wrong appears right and right appears wrong.
