Judges 19:1-4

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in theseH1992 daysH3117, when there was noH369 kingH4428 in IsraelH3478, that there was a certainH376 LeviteH3881 sojourning on the farther sideH1992 of the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, who tookH3947 to him a concubineH6370 outH376 of Beth-lehem-judah.

2And his concubineH6370 playedH2181 the harlotH2181 againstH5921 him, and wentH413 away from him unto herH413 father’sH1 houseH1004 to Beth-lehem-judah, and was there the space of fourH702 monthsH2320.

3And herH5921 husbandH376 aroseH6965, and wentH935 afterH310 herH5921, to speakH1696 kindlyH3820 unto herH5921, to bringH935 herH5921 againH7725, having his servantH5288 with him, and a coupleH6776 of asses: and sheH3820 broughtH935 him intoH935 herH5921 father’sH1 houseH1004: and when the fatherH1 of the damsel sawH7200 him, he rejoicedH8055 to meetH7125 him.

4And his fatherH1 in law, the damsel’s fatherH1, retainedH2388 him; and he abodeH3427 with him threeH7969 daysH3117: soH3427 they didH3117 eatH398 and drinkH8354, and lodged there.
