Judges 19:1-30

And it came to pass in those days
<03117>_,

when [there was] no king
<04428>

in Israel
<03478>_,

that there was a certain
<0376>

Levite
<03881>

sojourning
<01481> (8802)

on the side
<03411>

of mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

who took
<03947> (8799)

to him a concubine
<0802> <06370>

out of Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_.

{a concubine: Heb. a woman a concubine, or, a wife a concubine}

And his concubine
<06370>

played the whore
<02181> (8799)

against him, and went away
<03212> (8799)

from him unto her father's
<01>

house
<01004>

to Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_,

and was there four
<0702>

whole months
<02320> <03117>_.

{four whole months: or, a year and four month: Heb. days, four months}

And her husband
<0376>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

her, to speak
<01696> (8763)

friendly
<03820>

unto her, [and] to bring her again
<07725> (8687)_,

having his servant
<05288>

with him, and a couple
<06776>

of asses
<02543>_:

and she brought
<0935> (8686)

him into her father's
<01>

house
<01004>_:

and when the father
<01>

of the damsel
<05291>

saw
<07200> (8799)

him, he rejoiced
<08055> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him. {friendly...: Heb. to her heart}

And his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

the damsel's
<05291>

father
<01>_,

retained
<02388> (8686)

him; and he abode
<03427> (8799)

with him three
<07969>

days
<03117>_:

so they did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

and lodged
<03885> (8799)

there.

And it came to pass on the fourth
<07243>

day
<03117>_,

when they arose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

that he rose up
<06965> (8799)

to depart
<03212> (8800)_:

and the damsel's
<05291>

father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his son in law
<02860>_,

Comfort
<05582> (8798)

thine heart
<03820>

with a morsel
<06595>

of bread
<03899>_,

and afterward
<0310>

go your way
<03212> (8799)_.

{Comfort: Heb. Strengthen}

And they sat down
<03427> (8799)_,

and did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)

both
<08147>

of them together
<03162>_:

for the damsel's
<05291>

father
<01>

had said
<0559> (8799)

unto the man
<0376>_,

Be content
<02974> (8685)_,

I pray thee, and tarry all night
<03885> (8798)_,

and let thine heart
<03820>

be merry
<03190> (8799)_.

And when the man
<0376>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

to depart
<03212> (8800)_,

his father in law
<02859> (8802)

urged
<06484> (8799)

him: therefore he lodged
<03885> (8799)

there again
<07725> (8799)_.

And he arose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>

on the fifth
<02549>

day
<03117>

to depart
<03212> (8800)_:

and the damsel's
<05291>

father
<01>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Comfort
<05582> (8798)

thine heart
<03824>_,

I pray thee. And they tarried
<04102> (8701)

until afternoon
<03117> <05186> (8800)_,

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)

both
<08147>

of them. {until afternoon: Heb. till the day declined}

And when the man
<0376>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

to depart
<03212> (8800)_,

he, and his concubine
<06370>_,

and his servant
<05288>_,

his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

the damsel's
<05291>

father
<01>_,

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, now the day
<03117>

draweth
<07503> (8804)

toward evening
<06150> (8800)_,

I pray you tarry all night
<03885> (8798)_:

behold, the day
<03117>

groweth to an end
<02583> (8800)_,

lodge
<03885> (8798)

here, that thine heart
<03824>

may be merry
<03190> (8799)_;

and to morrow
<04279>

get you early
<07925> (8689)

on your way
<01870>_,

that thou mayest go
<01980> (8804)

home
<0168>_.

{draweth: Heb. is weak} {the day groweth to an end: Heb. it is the pitching time of the day} {home: Heb. to thy tent}

But the man
<0376>

would
<014> (8804)

not tarry that night
<03885> (8800)_,

but he rose up
<06965> (8799)

and departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

over against
<05227>

Jebus
<02982>_,

which [is] Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and [there were] with him two
<06776>

asses
<02543>

saddled
<02280> (8803)_,

his concubine
<06370>

also [was] with him. {over against: Heb. to over against}

[And] when they [were] by Jebus
<02982>_,

the day
<03117>

was far
<03966>

spent
<07286> (8804)_;

and the servant
<05288>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his master
<0113>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

I pray thee, and let us turn in
<05493> (8799)

into this city
<05892>

of the Jebusites
<02983>_,

and lodge
<03885> (8799)

in it.

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].
