Judges 19:8-14
8On the fifthH2549 dayH3117, he got up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 to departH1980, but the girl’sH5291 fatherH1 saidH559, “PleaseH4994 refreshH5582 your heartH3824.” So they waitedH4102 untilH5704 late afternoonH5186H3117 and the twoH8147 of them ateH398. 9When the manH376 got upH6965 to departH1980H1931 with his concubineH6370 and his servantH5288, his father-in-lawH2859, the girl’sH5291 fatherH1, saidH559 to him, “LookH2009, the dayH3117 is drawingH7503 to a closeH6150. PleaseH4994 spend the nightH3885H4994. SeeH2009, the dayH3117 is almost overH2583. Spend the nightH3885 hereH6311, that your heartH3824 may be merryH3190. Then you can get up earlyH7925 tomorrowH4279 for your journeyH1870H1980 homeH168.”
10But the manH376 was unwillingH3808H14 to spend the nightH3885. He got upH6965 and departedH1980, and arrivedH935H5704 oppositeH5227 JebusH2982 (that isH1931, JerusalemH3389), withH5973 his twoH6776 saddledH2280 donkeysH2543 and his concubineH6370. 11When theyH1992 were nearH5973 JebusH2982 and the dayH3117 was almostH3966 goneH3381, the servantH5288 saidH559 toH413 his masterH113H1980, “PleaseH4994, let us stopH5493 atH413 thisH2063 JebusiteH2983 cityH5892 and spend the nightH3885 here.”
12But his masterH113 repliedH559, “We will notH3808 turn asideH5493 toH413 the cityH5892 of foreignersH5237, whereH834 there are noH3808 IsraelitesH1121H3478H2007. We will go onH5674 toH5704 GibeahH1390.” 13He continuedH559, “ComeH1980, let us try to reachH7126 oneH259 of these townsH4725 to spend the nightH3885 in GibeahH1390 orH176 RamahH7414.”
14So they continuedH1980 on their journeyH5674, and the sunH8121 setH935 as they nearedH681 GibeahH1390 in BenjaminH1144.
