Judges 19:8-14

8And he arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 on the fifthH2549 dayH3117 to departH3212: and the damsel’sH5291 fatherH1 saidH559, ComfortH5582 thine heartH3824, I pray thee. And they tarriedH4102 until afternoonH5186H3117, and they did eatH398 bothH8147 of them.1

9And when the manH376 rose upH6965 to departH3212, he, and his concubineH6370, and his servantH5288, his father in lawH2859, the damsel’sH5291 fatherH1, saidH559 unto him, Behold, now the dayH3117 drawethH7503 toward eveningH6150, I pray you tarry all nightH3885: behold, the dayH3117 groweth to an endH2583, lodgeH3885 here, that thine heartH3824 may be merryH3190; and to morrowH4279 get you earlyH7925 on your wayH1870, that thou mayest goH1980 homeH168.234

10But the manH376 wouldH14 not tarry that nightH3885, but he rose upH6965 and departedH3212, and cameH935 over againstH5227 JebusH2982, which is JerusalemH3389; and there were with him twoH6776 donkeysH2543 saddledH2280, his concubineH6370 also was with him.5

11And when they were by JebusH2982, the dayH3117 was farH3966 spentH7286; and the servantH5288 saidH559 unto his masterH113, ComeH3212, I pray thee, and let us turn inH5493 into this cityH5892 of the JebusitesH2983, and lodgeH3885 in it.

12And his masterH113 saidH559 unto him, We will not turn asideH5493 hither into the cityH5892 of a strangerH5237, that is not of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; we will pass overH5674 to GibeahH1390.

13And he saidH559 unto his servantH5288, ComeH3212, and let us draw nearH7126 to oneH259 of these placesH4725 to lodge all nightH3885, in GibeahH1390, or in RamahH7414.

14And they passed onH5674 and went their wayH3212; and the sunH8121 went downH935 upon them when they were byH681 GibeahH1390, which belongeth to BenjaminH1144.
