The Levite, I'll Forgive You if You Just Come Home With Me
In the book of hosea, a man and his concubine are taken to their father's house. They stay there for several days before he decides to go home with them. But as they pass through gibeah, where horrible things take place, it is revealed that she has played the harlot against her husband. This becomes a great metaphor: If the levite is the type of christ, this who played the hore was the type of israel. And either way, you are being unfaithful, unfaithful to your spouse, or unfaithfully to the god you are covenantly bound to.
