Judges 19:8-14

8Now on the fifth day he got up to go early in the morning, but the girl’s father said, “Please strengthen 1yourself, and wait until 2late 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 3to a close; please spend the night. Behold, the day is 4coming 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 5home.”

10But the man was unwilling to spend the night, so he got up and left, and came to a place opposite 6Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And with him was 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’s 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 a city of foreigners who are not of the sons of Israel; instead, we will go on as far as Gibeah.” 13And he said to his servant, “Come, and let’s 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.
