In the story of the murdered concubine, the writer emphasises the traveller's continual delay. Why? Is there an implication of the danger of being distracted? Its not a strong case, but the emphasis on continual delay is clear. He lacks focus and is drawn aside to feast frequently.
I am also intersted in the fact that those who didn't turn out to fight against sin (Jabesh Gilead) were themselves destroyed.
