Judges 19:3-9
3Then her husbandH376 aroseH6965 and wentH1980 afterH310 her to 1speakH1696 2tenderlyH3820 to her in order to bringH7725 her backH7725, 3taking 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. 5Now on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 they gotH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and he 4preparedH6965 to goH1980; and the girl’sH5291 fatherH1 saidH559 to his son-in-lawH2860, “5SustainH5582 6yourselfH3820 with a pieceH6595 of breadH3899, and afterwardH310 you may goH1980.” 6So bothH8147 of them satH3427 downH3427 and ateH398 and drankH8354 togetherH3164; and the girl’sH5291 fatherH1 saidH559 to the manH376, “PleaseH4994 be willingH2974 to spendH3885 the nightH3885, and 7let your heartH3820 be merryH3190.” 7Then the manH376 aroseH6965 to goH1980, but his father-in-lawH2860 urgedH6484 him so that he spentH3885 the nightH3885 thereH8033 againH7725. 8On the fifthH2549 dayH3117 he aroseH7925 to goH1980 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the girl’sH5291 fatherH1 saidH559, “PleaseH4994 sustainH5582 8yourselfH3824, and waitH4102 untilH5704 9afternoonH5186H3117”; so bothH8147 of them ateH398. 9When the manH376 aroseH6965 to goH1980 along with his concubineH6370 and servantH5288, his father-in-lawH2860, the girl’sH5291 fatherH1, saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, the dayH3117 has drawnH7503 10to a closeH6150; pleaseH4994 spendH3885 the nightH3885. LoH2009, the dayH3117 is 11comingH2583 to an endH2583; spendH3885 the nightH3885 hereH6311 that your heartH3824 may be merryH3190. Then tomorrowH4279 you may ariseH7925 earlyH7925 for your journeyH1870 so that you may goH1980 12homeH168.”
