Judges 19:16-22

16And, behold, there cameH935 an oldH2205 manH376 from his workH4639 out of the fieldH7704 at eveningH6153, who was alsoH376 of mountH2022 EphraimH669; and he dweltH1481 in GibeahH1390: but the menH582 of the placeH4725 were BenjamitesH1145. 17And when he had lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, he sawH7200 a wayfaringH732 manH376 in the streetH7339 of the cityH5892: and the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, Where goestH3212 thou? and whereH370 do you comeH935 from? 18And he saidH559 to him, We are passingH5674 from BethlehemjudahH1035H3063 toward the sideH3411 of mountH2022 EphraimH669; from there am I: and I wentH3212 to BethlehemjudahH1035H3063, but I am now goingH1980 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; and there is no manH376 that receivethH622 me into his houseH1004.1 19Yet there isH3426 both strawH8401 and fodderH4554 for our donkeysH2543; and there is breadH3899 and wineH3196 also for me, and for thy handmaidH519, and for the young manH5288 which is with thy servantsH5650: there is no wantH4270 of any thingH1697. 20And the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, PeaceH7965 be with thee; howeverH7535 let all thy wantsH4270 lie upon me; only lodgeH3885 not in the streetH7339. 21So he broughtH935 him into his houseH1004, and gave fodderH1101 to the donkeysH2543: and they washedH7364 their feetH7272, and ateH398 and drankH8354.

22Now as they were making their heartsH3820 merryH3190, behold, the menH582 of the cityH5892, certainH582 pervertedH1100 menH1121, besetH5437 the houseH1004 on all sidesH5437, and beatH1849 at the doorH1817, and spokeH559 to the masterH1167 of the houseH1004, the oldH2205 manH376, sayingH559, Bring forthH3318 the manH376 that cameH935 into thy houseH1004, that we may knowH3045 him.
