Judges 19:22-25

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. 23And the manH376, the master of the houseH1004, wentH3318 out unto them, and saidH559 unto them, Nay, my brethren, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this manH376 is comeH935 into my houseH1004, do not this follyH5039. 24Behold, hereH2009 is my daughterH1323 a virginH1330, and his concubineH6370; them I will bringH3318 out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth goodH2896 unto you: but unto this manH376 do not any such follyH5039. 25But the menH376 wouldH14 not hearken to him: so the manH376 laid holdH2388 on his concubineH6370, and broughtH3318 her forthH3318 unto them; and they knewH3045 her, and abused her all the nightH3915 until the morningH1242: and when the day began to spring, they let her goH3318.
