Judges 19:16-22

16And, behold, there cameH935 an oldH2205 manH376 from his workH4639 out of the fieldH7704 at even: now the manH376 was of the hill-country of EphraimH669, and he sojourned in GibeahH1390; but the menH376 of the placeH4725 were Benjamites. 17And he liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the wayfaring manH376 in the street of the cityH5892; and the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou? 18And he saidH559 unto him, We are passing from Beth-lehem-judah unto the farther side of the hill-country of EphraimH669; from thence am I, and I wentH1980 to Beth-lehem-judah: and I am now goingH1980 to the houseH1004 of Jehovah; and there is no manH376 that taketh me into his houseH1004. 19Yet there is both strawH8401 and provender for our asses; and there is breadH3899 and wineH3196 alsoH1571 for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the youngH5288 manH5288 that is with thy servantsH5650: there is no want of anything. 20And the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, PeaceH7965 be unto thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; onlyH7535 lodge not in the street. 21So he broughtH935 him into his houseH1004, and gave the asses fodder; and they washedH7364 their feetH7272, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354.

22As they were making their heartsH3820 merry, behold, the menH376 of the cityH5892, certain base fellows, beset the houseH1004 roundH5437 about, beating at the doorH1817; and they spake to the master of the houseH1004, the old manH376, sayingH559, BringH935 forthH3318 the manH376 that cameH935 into thy houseH1004, that we may knowH3045 him.
