Judges 19:12-30

19:12

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>_.

19:13

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>_.

19:14

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>_.

19:15

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)_.

19:16

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>_.

19:17

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?

19:18

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}

19:19

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>_.

19:20

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>_.

19:21

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)_.

19:22

[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.

19:23

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>_.

19:24

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}

19:25

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)_.

19:26

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>_.

19:27

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>_.

19:28

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>_.

19:29

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>_.

19:30

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].
