Judges 19:22-30
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. 26Then cameH935 the womanH802 in the dawning of the dayH1242 and fellH5307 downH5307 at the doorH6607 of the man’sH376 houseH1004 whereH834 herH802 lordH113 was, tillH5704 it was lightH216. 27And herH5921 lordH113 roseH6965 upH6965 in the morningH1242, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004, and wentH3318 outH3318 to goH3318 his wayH1870: and, beholdH2009, the womanH802 his concubineH6370 was fallenH5307 downH5307 at the doorH1817 of the houseH1004, with herH5921 handsH3027 uponH5921 the threshold. 28And he saidH559 unto herH413, UpH6965, and let usH413 be going; but noneH369 answeredH559: then he tookH3947 herH413 upH6965 uponH5921 the ass; and the manH376 roseH6965 upH6965, and gat him unto his placeH4725. 29And when he was comeH935 intoH413 his houseH1004, he tookH3947 a knifeH3979, and laidH7971 holdH2388 on his concubineH6370, and divided herH3605, limbH6106 by limbH6106, intoH413 twelveH6240 piecesH5409, and sentH7971 herH3605 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the bordersH1366 of IsraelH3478. 30And it was soH1961, that allH3605 that sawH7200 it saidH559, There was noH3808 suchH2088 deed doneH1961 norH3808 seenH7200 from the dayH3117 that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH1961 upH5927 outH5921 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto this dayH3117: considerH7200 of it, takeH7760 counselH5779, and speakH1696.
