Judges 19:8-14
8He woke up early in the morning on the fifth day so he could leave, but the girl’s father said, “Get some energy. Wait until later in the day to leave!” So they ate a meal together.
9When the man got ready to leave with his concubine and his servant, his father-in-law, the girl’s father, said to him, “Look! The day is almost over! Stay another night! Since the day is over, stay another night here and have a good time. You can get up early tomorrow and start your trip home.”
10But the man did not want to stay another night. He left and traveled as far as Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). He had with him a pair of saddled donkeys and his concubine.
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.”
13He 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.
