• Judg 19:15-28 : 15 They turned aside there to go in and spend the night in Gibeah. When they went in, they sat in the town square, but no one took them into their house to spend the night. 16 In the evening, an old man came in from his work in the field. He was from the hill country of Ephraim and was staying temporarily in Gibeah, though the people of the place were Benjaminites. 17 When he looked up and saw the traveler in the town square, the old man asked, "Where are you going, and where have you come from?" 18 The man answered, "We are traveling from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote parts of the hill country of Ephraim, where I am from. I have been to Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to the house of the Lord, but no one has taken me into their home. 19 We have straw and feed for our donkeys, as well as bread and wine for me, your servant, for the woman with me, and for the young man who is with your servants. We lack nothing." 20 The old man said, "Peace to you! Let me take care of all your needs, but do not spend the night in the square." 21 He brought him into his house and provided fodder for the donkeys. They washed their feet, ate, and drank. 22 While they were enjoying themselves, some wicked men of the city surrounded the house. They pounded on the door and said to the old man, the owner of the house, "Bring out the man who came to your house, so we can have relations with him." 23 The owner of the house went out to them and said, "No, my brothers, do not commit such an evil act. Since this man has come into my house, do not do this disgraceful act. 24 Look, here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. Let me bring them out to you now, and you may abuse them and do to them whatever you think best. But do not commit this disgraceful act against this man. 25 But the men refused to listen to him. So the man seized his concubine and brought her outside to them. They raped her and abused her throughout the night until morning, and at dawn, they let her go. 26 At daybreak, the woman came and fell at the doorway of the man's house where her master was staying, and she lay there until it was light. 27 Her master got up in the morning, opened the doors of the house, and went out to continue on his way. There was the woman, his concubine, lying at the doorway of the house with her hands on the threshold. 28 He said to her, "Get up, let us go." But there was no answer. So he put her on the donkey, and the man set out for home.
