Judges 19:1-4

1Now it cameH1961 about in thoseH1992 daysH3117, when 1thereH369 was noH369 kingH4428 in IsraelH3478, that there was a certainH376 LeviteH3881 2stayingH1481 in the remoteH3411 partH3411 of the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, who tookH3947 a concubineH6370 for himself from BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063.

2But his concubineH6370 playedH2181 the harlotH2181 againstH5921 him, and she wentH1980 away from him to her father’sH1 houseH1004 in BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063, and was thereH8033 for a periodH3117 of fourH702 monthsH2320.

3Then her husbandH376 aroseH6965 and wentH1980 afterH310 her to 3speakH1696 4tenderlyH3820 to her in order to bringH7725 her backH7725, 5taking with him his servantH5288 and a pairH6776 of donkeysH2543. So she broughtH935 him into her father’sH1 houseH1004, and when the girl’sH5291 fatherH1 sawH7200 him, he was gladH8055 to meetH7122 him.

4His father-in-lawH2860, the girl’sH5291 fatherH1, detainedH2388 him; and he remainedH3427 with him threeH7969 daysH3117. So they ateH398 and drankH8354 and lodgedH3885 thereH8033.
