Judges 19:22-25

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.

23And the manH376, the masterH559 of the houseH1004, wentH3318 outH3318 unto them, and saidH559 unto them, Nay, my brethrenH251, I prayH4994 youH834, doH6213 notH408 soH6213 wickedly; seeing that this manH376 is comeH935 intoH413 mine houseH1004, doH6213 notH408 this follyH5039.

24BeholdH2009, hereH2009 is my daughterH1323 a maiden, and his concubineH6370; them I will bringH3318 outH3318 nowH4994, and humble ye them, and doH6213 with them whatH1697 seemeth goodH2896 unto youH6213: but unto this manH376 doH6213 notH3808 anyH376 suchH2088 follyH5039.

25But the menH376 would notH3808 hearken to him: soH7971 the manH376 laidH7971 holdH2388 on his concubineH6370, and broughtH3318 herH3605 forthH3318 unto them; and they knewH3045 herH3605, and abused herH3605 allH3605 the nightH3915 untilH5704 the morningH1242: and when the dayH1242 began to springH5927, they letH7971 herH3605 goH3318.
