Judges 19:3-9
3And her husbandH376 aroseH6965, and wentH3212 afterH310 her, to speakH1696 kindlyH3820 to her, and to bring her againH7725, having his servantH5288 with him, and a coupleH6776 of donkeysH2543: and she broughtH935 him into her father’sH1 houseH1004: and when the fatherH1 of the damselH5291 sawH7200 him, he rejoicedH8055 to meetH7125 him.1
4And his father in lawH2859, the damsel’sH5291 fatherH1, detainedH2388 him; and he abodeH3427 with him threeH7969 daysH3117: so they ateH398 and drankH8354, and lodgedH3885 there.
5And it came to pass on the fourthH7243 dayH3117, when they arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, that he aroseH6965 to departH3212: and the damsel’sH5291 fatherH1 saidH559 to his son in lawH2860, StrengthenH5582 thy heartH3820 with a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and afterwardH310 departH3212.2
6And they sat downH3427, and ateH398 and drankH8354 bothH8147 of them togetherH3162: for the damsel’sH5291 fatherH1 had saidH559 to the manH376, Be contentH2974, I pray thee, and tarry all nightH3885, and let thy heartH3820 be merryH3190.
7And when the manH376 roseH6965 to departH3212, his father in lawH2859 urgedH6484 him: therefore he lodgedH3885 there againH7725.
8And he arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 on the fifthH2549 dayH3117 to departH3212: and the damsel’sH5291 fatherH1 saidH559, StrengthenH5582 thy heartH3824, I pray thee. And they tarriedH4102 until afternoonH3117H5186, and they ateH398 bothH8147 of them.3
9And when the manH376 aroseH6965 to departH3212, he, and his concubineH6370, and his servantH5288, his father in lawH2859, the damsel’sH5291 fatherH1, saidH559 to him, Behold, now the dayH3117 drawethH7503 toward eveningH6150, I pray you tarry all nightH3885: behold, the dayH3117 is coming to an endH2583, lodgeH3885 here, that thy heartH3824 may be merryH3190; and to morrowH4279 get you earlyH7925 on your wayH1870, that thou mayest goH1980 homeH168.456
