Sodom and Gomorrah Revisited
19:1 In those days Israel had no king . There was a Levite living temporarily in the remote region of the Ephraimite hill country . He acquired a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah .
19:2 However, she got angry at him and went home to her father’s house in Bethlehem in Judah . When she had been there four months ,
19:3 her husband came after her, hoping he could convince her to return . He brought with him his servant and a pair of donkeys . When she brought him into her father’s house and the girl’s father saw him, he greeted him warmly .
19:4 His father-in-law , the girl’s father , persuaded him to stay with him for three days , and they ate and drank together, and spent the night there .
19:5 On the fourth day they woke up early and the Levite got ready to leave . But the girl’s father said to his son-in-law , “Have a bite to eat for some energy , then you can go .”
19:6 So the two of them sat down and had a meal together . Then the girl’s father said to the man , “Why not stay another night and have a good time !”
19:7 When the man got ready to leave , his father-in-law convinced him to stay another night .
19:8 He woke up early in the morning on the fifth day so he could leave , but the girl’s father said , “Get some energy . Wait until later in the day to leave !” So they ate a meal together .
