Context of Judges 19:13

11They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it. 12But his master said to him, We will not turn aside into the city of a stranger, which is not of the children of Israel, but we will pass on to Gibeah. And he said to his servant, Come and let us draw near to one of these places, and lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah. 14And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them [when they were] by Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin. 15And they turned aside thither, to go in, to lodge in Gibeah. And he went in, and sat down in the open place of the city; and there was no one that received him into his house to pass the night.
