Judges 19:12-30

And his master
<0113>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We will not turn aside
<05493> (8799)
hither into the city
<05892>
of a stranger
<05237>_,
that [is] not of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_;
we will pass over
<05674> (8804)
to Gibeah
<01390>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto his servant
<05288>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us draw near
<07126> (8799)
to one
<0259>
of these places
<04725>
to lodge all night
<03885> (8804)_,
in Gibeah
<01390>_,
or in Ramah
<07414>_.
And they passed on
<05674> (8799)
and went their way
<03212> (8799)_;
and the sun
<08121>
went down
<0935> (8799)
upon them [when they were] by
<0681>
Gibeah
<01390>_,
which [belongeth] to Benjamin
<01144>_.
And they turned aside
<05493> (8799)
thither, to go in
<0935> (8800)
[and] to lodge
<03885> (8800)
in Gibeah
<01390>_:
and when he went in
<0935> (8799)_,
he sat him down
<03427> (8799)
in a street
<07339>
of the city
<05892>_:
for [there was] no man
<0376>
that took
<0622> (8764)
them into his house
<01004>
to lodging
<03885> (8800)_.
And, behold, there came
<0935> (8804)
an old
<02205>
man
<0376>
from his work
<04639>
out of the field
<07704>
at even
<06153>_,
which [was] also
<0376>
of mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_;
and he sojourned
<01481> (8804)
in Gibeah
<01390>_:
but the men
<0582>
of the place
<04725>
[were] Benjamites
<01145>_.
And when he had lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
he saw
<07200> (8799)
a wayfaring
<0732> (8802)
man
<0376>
in the street
<07339>
of the city
<05892>_:
and the old
<02205>
man
<0376>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Whither goest
<03212> (8799)
thou? and whence
<0370>
comest
<0935> (8799)
thou?
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We [are] passing
<05674> (8802)
from Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>
toward the side
<03411>
of mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_;
from thence [am] I: and I went
<03212> (8799)
to Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_,
but I [am now] going
<01980> (8802)
to the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and there [is] no man
<0376>
that receiveth
<0622> (8764)
me to house
<01004>_.
{receiveth: Heb. gathereth}
Yet there is
<03426>
both straw
<08401>
and provender
<04554>
for our asses
<02543>_;
and there is bread
<03899>
and wine
<03196>
also for me, and for thy handmaid
<0519>_,
and for the young man
<05288>
[which is] with thy servants
<05650>_:
[there is] no want
<04270>
of any thing
<01697>_.
And the old
<02205>
man
<0376>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Peace
<07965>
[be] with thee; howsoever
<07535>
[let] all thy wants
<04270>
[lie] upon me; only lodge
<03885> (8799)
not in the street
<07339>_.
So he brought
<0935> (8686)
him into his house
<01004>_,
and gave provender
<01101> (8799)
unto the asses
<02543>_:
and they washed
<07364> (8799)
their feet
<07272>_,
and did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_.
[Now] as they were making their hearts
<03820>
merry
<03190> (8688)_,
behold, the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>_,
certain
<0582>
sons
<01121>
of Belial
<01100>_,
beset
<05437> (0)
the house
<01004>
round about
<05437> (8738)_,
[and] beat
<01849> (8693)
at the door
<01817>_,
and spake
<0559> (8799)
to the master
<01167>
of the house
<01004>_,
the old
<02205>
man
<0376>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Bring forth
<03318> (8685)
the man
<0376>
that came
<0935> (8804)
into thine house
<01004>_,
that we may know
<03045> (8799)
him.
And the man
<0376>_,
the master
<01167>
of the house
<01004>_,
went out
<03318> (8799)
unto them, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Nay
<0408>_,
my brethren
<0251>_,
[nay], I pray you, do not [so] wickedly
<07489> (8686)_;
seeing
<0310>
that this man
<0376>
is come
<0935> (8804)
into mine house
<01004>_,
do
<06213> (8799)
not this folly
<05039>_.
Behold, [here is] my daughter
<01323>
a maiden
<01330>_,
and his concubine
<06370>_;
them I will bring out
<03318> (8686)
now, and humble
<06031> (8761)
ye them, and do
<06213> (8798)
with them what seemeth
<05869>
good
<02896>
unto you: but unto this man
<0376>
do
<06213> (8799)
not so
<02063>
vile
<05039>
a thing
<01697>_.
{so vile...: Heb. the matter of this folly}
But the men
<0582>
would
<014> (8804)
not hearken
<08085> (8800)
to him: so the man
<0376>
took
<02388> (8686)
his concubine
<06370>_,
and brought
<03318> (8686)
her forth
<02351>
unto them; and they knew
<03045> (8799)
her, and abused
<05953> (8691)
her all the night
<03915>
until the morning
<01242>_:
and when the day
<07837>
began to spring
<05927> (8800)_,
they let her go
<07971> (8762)_.
Then came
<0935> (8799)
the woman
<0802>
in the dawning
<06437> (8800)
of the day
<01242>_,
and fell down
<05307> (8799)
at the door
<06607>
of the man's
<0376>
house
<01004>
where her lord
<0113>
[was], till it was light
<0216>_.
And her lord
<0113>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and opened
<06605> (8799)
the doors
<01817>
of the house
<01004>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)
to go
<03212> (8800)
his way
<01870>_:
and, behold, the woman
<0802>
his concubine
<06370>
was fallen down
<05307> (8802)
[at] the door
<06607>
of the house
<01004>_,
and her hands
<03027>
[were] upon the threshold
<05592>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Up
<06965> (8798)_,
and let us be going
<03212> (8799)_.
But none answered
<06030> (8802)_.
Then the man
<0376>
took
<03947> (8799)
her [up] upon an ass
<02543>_,
and the man
<0376>
rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and gat
<03212> (8799)
him unto his place
<04725>_.
And when he was come
<0935> (8799)
into his house
<01004>_,
he took
<03947> (8799)
a knife
<03979>_,
and laid hold
<02388> (8686)
on his concubine
<06370>_,
and divided
<05408> (8762)
her, [together] with her bones
<06106>_,
into twelve
<08147> <06240>
pieces
<05409>_,
and sent
<07971> (8762)
her into all the coasts
<01366>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And it was so
<01961> (8738)_,
that all that saw
<07200> (8802)
it said
<0559> (8804)_,
There was no such deed
<02063>
done nor seen
<07200> (8738)
from the day
<03117>
that the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
came up
<05927> (8800)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
unto this day
<03117>_:
consider
<07760> (8798)
of it, take advice
<05779> (8798)_,
and speak
<01696> (8761)
[your minds].
