Judges 19:1-4

1And it came to pass in those daysH3117, when there was no kingH4428 in IsraelH3478, that there was a certain LeviteH3881 sojourning on the farther side of the hill-country of EphraimH669, who tookH3947 to him a concubineH6370 out of Beth-lehem-judah.

2And his concubineH6370 playedH2181 the harlot against him, and went away from him unto her father’sH1 houseH1004 to Beth-lehem-judah, and wasH1961 there the space of fourH702 monthsH2320.

3And her husbandH376 aroseH6965, and wentH935 after her, to speakH1696 kindly unto her, to bringH935 her again, having his servantH5288 with him, and a couple of asses: and she broughtH935 him into her father’sH1 houseH1004; and when the fatherH1 of the damsel sawH7200 him, he rejoicedH8055 to meet him.

4And his father-in-law, the damsel’s fatherH1, retained him; and he abode with him threeH7969 daysH3117: so they did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and lodged there.
