Judges 19:16-22

16And, beholdH2009, there cameH935 an oldH2205 manH376 from his workH4639 outH4480 of the fieldH7704 at even; nowH2009 the manH376 was of the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, and he sojourned in GibeahH1390: but the menH376 of the placeH4725 were BenjamitesH1145.

17And he liftedH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the wayfaring manH376 in the streetH7339 of the cityH5892; and the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?

18And he saidH559 unto him, WeH587 are passingH1980 from Beth-lehem-judah unto the farther side of the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669; from thence am I, and I wentH1980 to Beth-lehem-judah: and I am nowH369 goingH1980 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; and there is noH369 manH376 that taketh meH413 intoH413 his houseH1004.

19Yet there is bothH1571 strawH8401 and provender for our asses; and there is breadH3899 and wineH3196 also for meH5973, and for thy handmaidH519, and for the youngH5288 manH5288 whichH3196 is with thy servantsH5650: there is noH369 wantH4270 of anyH3605 thingH1697.

20And the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, PeaceH7965 be unto thee; howsoever letH408 allH3605 thy wants lie uponH5921 meH5921; onlyH7535 lodge notH408 in the streetH7339.

21SoH935 he broughtH935 him intoH935 his houseH1004, and gaveH935 the asses fodder: and they washedH7364 their feetH7272, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354.

22As they were making their heartsH3820 merryH3190, beholdH2009, the menH376 of the cityH5892, certainH376 sonsH1121 of Belial, beset the houseH1004 roundH5437 aboutH5921, beating at the doorH1817; and they spake to the masterH559 of the houseH1004, the oldH1121 manH376, sayingH559, BringH935 forthH3318 the manH376 that cameH935 intoH413 thine houseH1004, that weH834 may knowH3045 him.
