I was trying to imagine the event with the two women being attacked ... not sure what time it happened if they were in bed asleep when he broke into their home ... BUT what IF ... they would have fought back? Because they were women serving God and lived such a good life they weren't prepared for this.

Those two women could have overpowered this guy ... he only had a knife. And why not?
