Judges 19:16-22

16And behold, there cameH935 an oldH2205 manH376 from his workH4639 out of the fieldH7704 at even; and the manH376 was of mount EphraimH669, and he sojourned in GibeahH1390; but the menH376 of the placeH4725 were Benjaminites.

17And he liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the wayfaring manH376 in the openH7339 place of the cityH5892; and the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?

18And he saidH559 to him, We are travelling from Bethlehem-Judah towards the further side of mount EphraimH669; from thence am I; and I wentH1980 to Bethlehem-Judah, and I have to do with the houseH1004 of Jehovah; and there is no manH376 that receives me into his houseH1004.

19And we have both strawH8401 and provender for our asses; and I have breadH3899 and wineH3196 alsoH1571 for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the youngH5288 manH5288 with thy servantsH5650: there is no lackH4270 of anything.

20Then the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, PeaceH7965 be with thee; onlyH7535 let all thy wants lie on me; but lodge not in the street.

21And he broughtH935 him into his houseH1004, and gave the asses provender; and they washedH7364 their feetH7272, and ateH398 and drankH8354.

22They were making their heartsH3820 merry, whenH834 behold, the menH376 of the cityH5892, sonsH1121 of Belial, surroundedH5437 the houseH1004, beating at the doorH1817; and they spoke to the master of the houseH1004, the old manH376, sayingH559, BringH935 forthH3318 the manH376 that cameH935 into thy houseH1004, that we may knowH3045 him.
