  2. Exposition

What is suggested by the Levite’s plan to speak kindly to his concubine?

Judges 19:3 (ESV)

3 Then her husband arose and went after her, to speak kindly to her and bring her back. He had with him his servant and a couple of donkeys. And she brought him into her father’s house. And when the girl’s father saw him, he came with joy to meet him.

That he goes to speak to her heart suggests that he wants to win her back, which suggests she had left him upon being provoked.1
