    9When the man arose to depart with his concubine and servant, his father-in-law, the young woman's father, said to him, "Look, now the day draws toward evening; please stay all night. Look, the day ends; lodge here, that your heart may be merry. Tomorrow go early on your way that you may go home."

    10But the man would not remain that night; he got up and departed and came opposite Jebus, which is Jerusalem, and with him were two saddled donkeys; his concubine also was with him.

    12But his master said to him, "We will not turn aside into a city of foreigners, who are not of the children of Israel; we will go on to Gibeah."

    13He said to his servant, "Come, let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night in Gibeah or in Ramah."
