Judges 19:16-22

16And, behold, there cameH935 an oldH2205 manH376 from his workH4639 out of the fieldH7704 at evenH6153, which was alsoH376 of mountH2022 EphraimH669; and he sojournedH1481 in GibeahH1390: but the menH582 of the placeH4725 were BenjamitesH1145. 17And when he had lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, he sawH7200 a wayfaringH732 manH376 in the streetH7339 of the cityH5892: and the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, Whither goestH3212 thou? and whenceH370 comestH935 thou? 18And he saidH559 unto him, We are passingH5674 from Beth–lehem–judahH3063H1035 toward the sideH3411 of mountH2022 EphraimH669; from thence am I: and I wentH3212 to Beth–lehem–judahH3063H1035, but I am now goingH1980 to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068; and there is no manH376 that receivethH622 me to houseH1004.1 19Yet there isH3426 both strawH8401 and provenderH4554 for our assesH2543; and there is breadH3899 and wineH3196 also for me, and for thy handmaidH519, and for the young manH5288 which is with thy servantsH5650: there is no wantH4270 of any thingH1697. 20And the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, PeaceH7965 be with thee; howsoeverH7535 let all thy wantsH4270 lie upon me; only lodgeH3885 not in the streetH7339. 21So he broughtH935 him into his houseH1004, and gave provenderH1101 unto the assesH2543: and they washedH7364 their feetH7272, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354.

22Now as they were making their heartsH3820 merryH3190, behold, the menH582 of the cityH5892, certainH582 sonsH1121 of BelialH1100, besetH5437 the houseH1004 round aboutH5437, and beatH1849 at the doorH1817, and spakeH559 to the masterH1167 of the houseH1004, the oldH2205 manH376, sayingH559, Bring forthH3318 the manH376 that cameH935 into thine houseH1004, that we may knowH3045 him.
