• War on Benjamin (1188 BCE)
Armies of the Tribes of Israel converged
upon the tribe of Benjamin in the aftermath of the "Concubine at Givah"
incident, in a war which nearly brought about the extinction of the
Benjaminites (as related in the Book of Judges, chapters 19-21).
Said Rabbi Joshua ben Levi: When a
person walks along the way, a troop of angels march before him and
announce: "Make way for the image of the Holy One, Blessed Be He"
- Midrash Rabbah, Devarim 4
