Judges 20:8
And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house. And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house.
The closing chapters of Judges record Israel's backsliding into a low moral state before the call of Samuel, with disgrace and punishment following. The verse belongs to the account of the crime and murder involving the Levite's concubine at Gibeah of Benjamin, with which the whole tribe of Benjamin identified itself. That crime led to a war that nearly exterminated the tribe of Benjamin. Gibeah lies within an hour's walk from Jerusalem. The surrounding narrative shows hospitality and tribal loyalty being placed above female virtue and justice, conduct that has no excuse.
The verse expresses the people's united resolve that none would return to tent or house until they had acted together. It illustrates God's people acting in unity by organizing the work and advancing together against the enemy's strongholds. It applies to the church rising together despite delay to unite and finish its entrusted work so Jesus can come to gather his people from every kindred, tribe, and people.
