Judges 19:14-28

14So they passedH5674 alongH5674 and wentH1980 their way, and the sunH8121 setH935 on them nearH681 GibeahH1390 whichH834 belongs to BenjaminH1144. 15They turnedH5493 asideH5493 thereH8033 to enterH935 and spendH3885 theH3885 nightH3885 in GibeahH1390. When 1they enteredH935, 2they satH3427 downH3427 in the publicH7339 squareH7339 of the cityH5892, for noH369 oneH376 tookH622 them into his houseH1004 to spendH3885 theH3885 nightH3885.

16Then beholdH2009, an oldH2205 manH376 was comingH935 out of the fieldH7704 from his workH4639 at eveningH6153. Now the manH376 was from 3the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, and he was 4stayingH1481 in GibeahH1390, but the menH376 of the placeH4725 5were BenjaminitesH1145. 17And he raisedH5375 his eyesH5869 and sawH7200 the travelerH376H732 in the publicH7339 squareH7339 of the cityH5892; and the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, “WhereH575 are you goingH1980, and whereH370 do you comeH935 from?” 18And he saidH559 to him, “We are passingH5674 from BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063 to the remoteH3411 partH3411 of the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, for I am from thereH8033, and I wentH1980 to BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063. But I am now goingH1980 to 6my houseH1004, and noH369 oneH376 will takeH622 me into his houseH1004. 19Yet thereH3426 isH3426 bothH1571 strawH8401 and feedH4554 for our donkeysH2543, and alsoH1571 breadH3899 and wineH3196 for me, and 7your femaleH519 slaveH519, and 8the youngH5288 manH5288 who is with your servantsH5650; thereH369 isH369 noH369 lackH4270 of anythingH3605H1697.” 20Then the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, “9PeaceH7965 to you. OnlyH7534 let me take care of allH3605 your needsH4270; howeverH7534, do not spendH3885 theH3885 nightH3885 in the publicH7339 squareH7339.” 2110So he tookH935 him into his houseH1004 and fedH1101 the donkeysH2543, and they washedH7364 their feetH7272 and ateH398 and drankH8354.

22While they were 11celebratingH3190H3820, beholdH2009, 12the menH376 of the cityH5892, certainH376 1314worthlessH1100 menH1121, surroundedH5437 the houseH1004, pushingH1849 one another at the doorH1817; and they spokeH559 to the ownerH1167 of the houseH1004, the oldH2205 manH376, sayingH559, “BringH3318 outH3318 the manH376 whoH834 enteredH935 your houseH1004 that we may 15haveH3045 relationsH3045 with him.” 23Then the manH376, the ownerH1167 of the houseH1004, wentH3318 outH3318 to them and saidH559 to them, “NoH408, my brothersH251, pleaseH4994 do not actH7489 so wickedlyH7489. SinceH310H834 thisH2088 manH376 has comeH935 into my houseH1004, 16do not commitH6213 thisH2088 vileH5039 sinH5039. 2417HereH2009 is my virginH1330 daughterH1323 and 18the man’s concubineH6370. PleaseH4994 let me bringH3318 them outH3318, then rapeH6031 them and doH6213 to them 19whatever you wishH2896H5869. But do not commitH6213 thisH2088 actH1697 of vileH5039 sinH5039 against thisH2088 manH376.” 25But the menH376 wouldH14 not listenH8085 to him. So the manH376 seizedH2388 his concubineH6370 and broughtH3318 her outsideH2351 to them; and they 20rapedH3045 her and abusedH5953 her allH3605 nightH3915 untilH5704 morningH1242, then letH7971 her goH7971 at the approachH5927 of dawnH7837. 2621As the dayH1242 began to dawnH6437H1242, the womanH802 cameH935 and fellH5307 downH5307 at the doorwayH6607 of the man’sH376 houseH1004 whereH834H8033 her masterH113 was, untilH5704 full daylightH216.

27When her masterH113 gotH6965 upH6965 in the morningH1242 and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 and wentH3318 outH3318 to goH1980 on his wayH1870, then beholdH2009, his concubineH6370 was lyingH5307 at the doorwayH6607 of the houseH1004 with her handsH3027 on the thresholdH5592. 28And he saidH559 to her, “GetH6965 upH6965 and let’s goH1980,” 22but thereH369 wasH369 noH369 answerH6030. Then he putH3947 her on the donkeyH2543; and the manH376 setH6965 outH6965 and wentH1980 to his 23homeH4725.
