Judges 19:8-14

8On the fifth day he arose to go early in the morning, and the girl’s father said, “Please sustain 1yourself, and wait until 2afternoon”; so both of them ate. 9When the man arose to go along with his concubine and servant, his father-in-law, the girl’s father, said to him, “Behold now, the day has drawn 3to a close; please spend the night. Lo, the day is 4coming to an end; spend the night here that your heart may be merry. Then tomorrow you may arise early for your journey so that you may go 5home.”

10But the man was not willing to spend the night, so he arose and departed and came to a place opposite 6Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a pair of saddled donkeys; his concubine also was with him. 11When they were near Jebus, the day was almost gone; and 7the servant said to his master, “Please come, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and spend the night in it.” 12However, his master said to him, “We will not turn aside into the city of foreigners who are not of the sons of Israel; but we will go on as far as Gibeah.” 13He said to his servant, “Come and let us approach one of these places; and we will spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.” 14So they passed along and went their way, and the sun set on them near Gibeah which belongs to Benjamin.
