Judges 19:1-4

1And it came to pass in those daysH3117, when there was no kingH4428 in IsraelH3478, that there was a certainH376 LeviteH3881 sojourningH1481 on the sideH3411 of mountH2022 EphraimH669, who tookH3947 to him a concubineH6370H802 out of Beth–lehem–judahH3063H1035.1

2And his concubineH6370 played the whoreH2181 against him, and went awayH3212 from him unto her father’sH1 houseH1004 to Beth–lehem–judahH3063H1035, and was there fourH702 whole monthsH3117H2320.2

3And her husbandH376 aroseH6965, and wentH3212 afterH310 her, to speakH1696 friendlyH3820 unto her, and to bring her againH7725, having his servantH5288 with him, and a coupleH6776 of donkeysH2543: and she broughtH935 him into her father’sH1 houseH1004: and when the fatherH1 of the damselH5291 sawH7200 him, he rejoicedH8055 to meetH7125 him.3

4And his father in lawH2859, the damsel’sH5291 fatherH1, retainedH2388 him; and he abodeH3427 with him threeH7969 daysH3117: so they did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and lodgedH3885 there.
