Judges 19:22-30

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. 23And the manH376, the masterH1167 of the houseH1004, went outH3318 to them, and saidH559 to them, NayH408, my brethrenH251, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedlyH7489; seeingH310 that this manH376 is comeH935 into my houseH1004, doH6213 not this follyH5039. 24Behold, here is my daughterH1323 a maidenH1330, and his concubineH6370; them I will bring outH3318 now, and humbleH6031 ye them, and doH6213 with them what seemethH5869 goodH2896 to you: but to this manH376 doH6213 not soH2063 vileH5039 a thingH1697.1 25But the menH582 wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 to him: so the manH376 tookH2388 his concubineH6370, and broughtH3318 her forthH2351 to them; and they knewH3045 her, and abusedH5953 her all the nightH3915 until the morningH1242: and when the dayH7837 began to springH5927, they let her goH7971. 26Then cameH935 the womanH802 in the dawningH6437 of the dayH1242, and fell downH5307 at the doorH6607 of the man’sH376 houseH1004 where her lordH113 was, till it was lightH216. 27And her lordH113 roseH6965 in the morningH1242, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004, and went outH3318 to goH3212 his wayH1870: and, behold, the womanH802 his concubineH6370 had fallen downH5307 at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004, and her handsH3027 were upon the thresholdH5592. 28And he saidH559 to her, RiseH6965, and let us be goingH3212. But none answeredH6030. Then the manH376 tookH3947 her upon a donkeyH2543, and the manH376 roseH6965, and wentH3212 to his placeH4725. 29And when he was comeH935 into his houseH1004, he tookH3947 a knifeH3979, and laid holdH2388 on his concubineH6370, and dividedH5408 her, with her bonesH6106, into twelveH8147H6240 piecesH5409, and sentH7971 her into all the landH1366 of IsraelH3478. 30And it was soH1961, that all that sawH7200 it saidH559, There hath been no such deedH2063 done nor seenH7200 from the dayH3117 that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to this dayH3117: considerH7760 of it, take adviceH5779, and speakH1696 your minds .
