What killed the concubine of givah.
What is the natural explanation.
It does not seem natural that mass rape can kill someone overnight.

1I would argue that it was a combination of both physical and mental exhaustion coupled with mass stress and fear. Also, the Tanach doesn't describe what was exactly done to her - you know, step by step - so it's entirely possible, perhaps even probable - that a rough group of men would act severely violent towards her, further adding to the weakness that came from the situation.– Harel13Apr 19, 2020 at 4:51

@Harel13 it seems commentaries only bring that she was raped not any other damage sefaria.org/Judges.19.25?with=Commentary&lang=bi– hazorizApr 19, 2020 at 4:56

Well, rape often includes violent acts--one does not need to look at it as a separate act, but as part of the rape itself. So you could say it was "just" rape - but what did that rape include? I would therefore say all that I wrote in my above comment.– Harel13Apr 19, 2020 at 5:10

It is certainly possible that the rape killed her. For example, during wartime, enemy soldiers would sometimes rape women til dead. This evil act is probably responsible for her death. I agree with @Harel13.– Turk HillApr 19, 2020 at 5:10
