I'm very involved with the Deaf culture, as I have a brother who is Deaf.
They have interesting phrases for things, and their ways of thinking because of their 'physical' language has a tendency to pierce through our English muck with such simple clarity.
My brother once said "Psalms are women and Proverbs are men".
When you think bout it...it's so fitting and accurate eh?

I'm sure that your brother has an interesting reason for labeling the one book "women" and the other "men".
So if you will...please expound for us.

Women tend to talk more than men and are mostly more emotional than men. Women are full of love and compassion and reasoning.
Psalms are longer than proverbs, and since David wrote a good majority of them, are a full spectrum of the emotional makeup of man...from grief to rage to despair to overwhelming love.

Men are short and to the point. Think of the two genders when they go shopping...women tend to meander whereas men go straight from point A to point B.
Proverbs are very much like that..."this is what must be done", with not much elaboration or reasoning as to why.
Short, consice, and to the point.

I like Judges because in Chapters 19-21, for me, is revealed a very unique type of writing perhaps not in any other book of the Bible?.

I see the whole episode of the murdered/raped concubine as a sort of a series of reverse analogies of Christ Jesus the Messiah. Not sure if reverse analogy is the correct term?

Jesus was a heavenly man owned by God who inherited everything from God, whereas an earthly concubine is the exact opposite, an earthly woman, owned by an earthly man, who inherits nothing from her earthly husband.

God sort of threw Jesus out of Heaven and locked the door (like the husband did to his concubine wife) so that Jesus would be ravaged by evil me. God was not concerned (like the husband was not concerned in the story). It was God's plan for Jesus to die this way. Isaiah Chapter 53 says that it pleased God for Jesus to die this way.

The concubine wife being cut up into 12 pieces and sent to the 12 tribes (House of Israel) reminds me of the 12 Apostles cut off from the main vine Jesus after his death.

The killing off of the Benjamite Men/Women/Children by the rest of the House of Israel for having not turned over the rapists/murderers to them, and the subsequent kidnapping of surrogate wives for the surviving Benjamite men to continue the clan, reminds me of the Gentile Churches headed by the Apostle Paul, A true Benjamite himself.

The story mentions Bethlehem, a virgin, a donkey, straw, no room at the inn, and other details reminiscent of the virgin birth of Jesus.

Also, why would 65,000 Israelites have to die to avenge for the death of 1 concubine wife? Seems odd. Yet, it was not that the many died for Jesus, but rather Jesus instead died for the many.
