Judges 19:16-21

16That evening an old man came into the city from his work in the fields. He was from the mountain region of Ephraim but lived in Gibeah. The other people who lived there were from the tribe of Benjamin.

17He saw the traveler in the city square. So the old man asked, “Where do you come from? And where are you going?”

18The Levite replied, “We’re on our way from Bethlehem in Judah to a remote area in the mountains of Ephraim. That’s where I’m from. I had gone to Bethlehem in Judah. Now I’m going to the Lord’s house, but no one has offered to take me into his home.

19We have straw and fodder for our donkeys. I even have bread and wine for myself, the woman, and my servant. We have everything we need.”

20Then the old man said, “Welcome! Let me take care of your needs. Just don’t spend the night in the city square.”

21So he took the Levite to his house and fed the donkeys. After they washed, they ate and drank.
