The occasion of this war was thus. A certain man being a Levite, had a wife, who committed adultery, and fearing the sharpness of her husband, fled to her Parents. Not long time after, her husband went to seek her, findeth her, and is reconciled unto her. The woman as she returned home together with her husband, was with most filthy whoredom defiled of the Gibeonites, whereby she miserably perished, & so suffered punishment for her first adultery. For God punisheth since by since. Neither suffered he adultery being not punished by the Magistrates, to go unpunished.

As touching the history, it is no marvellous or strange thing, that the Levite dwelt as a stranger. For although that Tribe had certain Cities and suburbs appointed it, yet very many of the Levites went to the towns and villages of the other Tribes, to serve them as touching doctrine & counsels: whereof I have a little before somewhat spoken.
