Hosea 10:9
O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
Cross-reference
In Hosea 9:9, 'days of Gibeah' is explicitly referenced as a time of deep corruption — same historical sin invoked here.
Hosea 5:8 also uses Gibeah as a place of alarm — reinforcing the same symbolic location of judgment.
In Judges 19:22-30, the horrific events at Gibeah (gang rape, murder) are the original sin that Hosea calls 'days of Gibeah'.
In Judges 20:5, the Levite recounts the Gibeah atrocity — the very sin Hosea says Israel has persisted in since then.

In Judges 20:14, the Benjamites refuse to hand over the wicked men, choosing war instead—this refusal mirrors Israel's later stubbornness.
In Judges 20:17-48, the full battle against Benjamin and their near-destruction unfolds—Hosea says that battle did not overtake them then, but now judgment comes.
In Matthew 23:31, Jesus accuses the Pharisees of being children of prophet-killers—like Hosea accusing Israel of perpetuating Gibeah's sin.

Joshua 18:28 lists Gibeah among Benjamin's cities — the location of the sin Hosea recalls.
