Judges 19:16-21
16But then an old man passed by, returning at the end of the day from his work in the field. The man was from the Ephraimite hill country; he was living temporarily in Gibeah. (The residents of the town were Benjaminites.)
17When he looked up and saw the traveler in the town square, the old man said, “Where are you heading? Where do you come from?”
18The Levite said to him, “We are traveling from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote region of the Ephraimite hill country. That’s where I’m from. I had business in Bethlehem in Judah, but now I’m heading home. But no one has invited me into their home.
19We have enough straw and grain for our donkeys, and there is enough food and wine for me, your female servant, and the young man who is with your servants. We lack nothing.”
20The old man said, “Everything is just fine! I will take care of all your needs. But don’t spend the night in the town square.”
21So he brought him to his house and fed the donkeys. They washed their feet and had a meal.
