Judges 19:22-28

22While they were 1celebrating, behold, 2the men of the city, certain 34worthless men, surrounded the house, pushing one another at the door; and they spoke to the owner of the house, the old man, saying, “Bring out the man who entered your house that we may 5have relations with him.” 23Then the man, the owner of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brothers, please do not act so wickedly. Since this man has come into my house, 6do not commit this vile sin. 247Here is my virgin daughter and 8the man’s concubine. Please let me bring them out, then rape them and do to them 9whatever you wish. But do not commit this act of vile sin against this man.” 25But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine and brought her outside to them; and they 10raped her and abused her all night until morning, then let her go at the approach of dawn. 2611As the day began to dawn, the woman came and fell down at the doorway of the man’s house where her master was, until full daylight.

27When her master got up in the morning and opened the doors of the house and went out to go on his way, then behold, his concubine was lying at the doorway of the house with her hands on the threshold. 28And he said to her, “Get up and let’s go,” 12but there was no answer. Then he put her on the donkey; and the man set out and went to his 13home.
