Context of Judges 19:13

11When they got near Jebus, it was getting quite late and the servant said to his master, “Come on, let’s stop at this Jebusite city and spend the night in it.” 12But his master said to him, “We should not stop at a foreign city where non-Israelites live. We will travel on to Gibeah.” He said to his servant, “Come on, we will go into one of the other towns and spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.” 14So they traveled on, and the sun went down when they were near Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. 15They stopped there and decided to spend the night in Gibeah. They came into the city and sat down in the town square, but no one invited them to spend the night.
