Judges 19:8-14

8And he aroseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 on the fifthH2549 dayH3117 to depart; and the damsel’s fatherH1 saidH559, Comfort thine heartH3824, I prayH4994 thee, and tarry ye untilH5704 the dayH3117 declineth; and they didH3117 eatH398, bothH8147 of them.

9And when the manH376 roseH6965 upH6965 to departH1980, he, and his concubineH6370, and his servantH5288, his fatherH1 in law, the damsel’s fatherH1, saidH559 unto him, BeholdH2009, nowH4994 the dayH3117 draweth towardH1870 eveningH6150, I prayH4994 youH3117 tarry allH3117 night: beholdH2009, the dayH3117 groweth to an endH2583, lodge hereH6311, that thine heartH3824 may be merryH3190; and tomorrowH4279 getH6965 youH3117 earlyH7925 on your wayH1870, that thou mayest goH1980 homeH168.

10But the manH376 would notH3808 tarry that night, but he roseH6965 upH6965 and departedH935, and cameH935 over againstH5973 JebusH2982 (the sameH1931 is JerusalemH3389): and there were with him a coupleH6776 of asses saddledH2280; his concubineH6370 also was with him.

11When they were by JebusH2982, the dayH3117 was farH413 spentH3885; and the servantH5288 saidH559 unto his masterH113, ComeH4994, I prayH4994 thee, and letH4994 usH4994 turnH5493 asideH5493 intoH413 this cityH5892 of the JebusitesH2983, and lodge in it.

12And his masterH113 saidH559 unto him, WeH834 will notH3808 turnH5493 asideH5493 intoH413 the cityH5892 of a strangerH5237, that is notH3808 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; but weH834 will passH5674 over to GibeahH1390.

13And he saidH559 unto his servantH5288, ComeH7126 and let usH559 drawH7126 nearH7126 to one of these placesH4725; and we will lodge in GibeahH1390, or in RamahH7414.

14SoH834 they passedH5674 on and wentH935 their way; and the sunH8121 wentH935 down uponH935 them nearH681 to GibeahH1390, whichH834 belongeth to BenjaminH1144.
