Judges 19:1-4

1At that time, Israel had no king to rule over them. There was a Levite who was living in the hill country of Ephraim, far away from any towns. He took a woman from Bethlehem in Judah to be his slave wife.

2But she became angry with him. She left him and she returned to her father's house in Bethlehem. After she had been there four months,

3her husband went to find her. He wanted to ask her to return home with him. He took his servant and two donkeys with him. When he arrived, she took him into her father's house. Her father was happy to see him.

4He asked the Levite to stay there with them, and he stayed for three days. They ate food and they drank wine together. The Levite slept there.
