And it came to pass in those days when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of Mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehem-judah. And his concubine played the harlot against him, and went away from him unto her fathers house in Bethlehem-judah.....and her husband arose and went after her.....to bring her back again.....The man rose up and departed (from Bethlehem-judah) and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem, .....his concubine was with him, and he said we will not turn aside here into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel, we will pass over to Gibeah.
The purpose of this short article is to put in print the time duration for a 30 year old explorer walking along the ancient north-south watershed ridge route aprox. 7 miles from Bethlehm to Gibeah, tracing the journey mentioned in Judges 19.
Walking:
Bethlehem to Ramat Rahel: 45 minuets
Ramat Rahel to Jerusalem: 45 minuets
Jerusalem to Gibeah: 1 Hour 30 minuets
Bethlehem to Gibeah: 3 hours
Not being cut into 12 pieces: Priceless
