Judges 19:5-9

5Now on the fourth day they got up early in the morning, and he 1prepared to go; but the girl’s father said to his son-in-law, “2Strengthen 3yourself with a piece of bread, and afterward you may go.” 6So both of them sat down and ate and drank together; and the girl’s father said to the man, “Please 4be so kind as to spend the night, and 5let your heart be cheerful.” 7However, the man got up to go; but his father-in-law urged him, and he spent the night there again. 8Now on the fifth day he got up to go early in the morning, but the girl’s father said, “Please strengthen 6yourself, and wait until 7late afternoon”; so both of them ate. 9When the man got up 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 8to a close; please spend the night. Behold, the day is 9coming to an end; spend the night here so that your heart may be cheerful. Then tomorrow you may arise early for your journey and go 10home.”
