    25But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine and brought her out to them; and they knew her and abused her all night until morning, and when the day began to dawn, they let her go.

    26Then the woman came in the dawning of the day and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, until it was light.

    27Her lord rose up in the morning, opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way, and behold, the woman, his concubine, was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.

    8He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart, and the young woman's father said, "Please refresh yourself." And they lingered until the afternoon, and they both ate.

    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.

    11When they were near Jebus, the day was far spent, and the servant said to his master, "Please come, let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and lodge in it."

    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."

    14So they passed on and went their way, and the sun went down upon them when they were near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.

    15They turned aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah, and when he went in, he sat down in a street of the city, for there was no one who took them into his house to lodge.

    16And behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at evening, who was also from Mount Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.

    17When he lifted up his eyes, he saw a traveler in the street of the city, and the old man said, "Where are you going? And where do you come from?"

    18He said to him, "We are traveling from Bethlehem in Judah toward the side of Mount Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah, but now I am going to the house of the LORD, and there is no one who receives me into their house.
