    13He said to his servant, "Come, let us approach one of these places and spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah."

    14So they passed on and continued their journey. The sun set as they came near Gibeah, which belongs to the tribe of Benjamin.

    15They 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.

    16In 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.

    17When 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?"

    18The 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.

    19We 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."

    20The old man said, "Peace to you! Let me take care of all your needs, but do not spend the night in the square."

    21He brought him into his house and provided fodder for the donkeys. They washed their feet, ate, and drank.

    22While 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."

    23The 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.

    24Look, 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.

Spend the night here, and let your heart be content. You can rise early tomorrow and continue on your way home.”

    10But the man was unwilling to stay the night. He got up and left, arriving near Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). He had with him a pair of saddled donkeys and his concubine.

    11When they were near Jebus and the day was almost gone, the servant said to his master, “Come, let us turn aside to this city of the Jebusites and stay the night there.”
