Exegesis
The parallel objects oti {אוֹתִי | ʾō-ṯî} ‘me’ and ve-et-pilegeshi {וְאֶת־פִּילַגְשִׁי | wə-ʾet-pīlāgešî} ‘my concubine’ are acted upon by inu {עִנּוּ | ʿinnû} ‘they humiliated,’ and the final vav-consecutive imperfect vattamot {וַתָּמֹת | wayyāmmôt} ‘and she died’ delivers tragic closure. The English rendering preserves the Hebrew’s chronological flow and emphatic repetition to underscore escalating violence.
In context — Judges 20:5
And the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house at night. They intended to kill me, and they abused my concubine , and she died.
