Judges 19:11-15

19:11 When they got near Jebus, it was getting quite late ¹  and the servant ²  said to his master, “Come on, let’s stop at ³  this Jebusite city and spend the night in it.” 19:12 But his master said to him, “We should not stop at a foreign city where non-Israelites live. ⁴  We will travel on to Gibeah.” 19:13 He said to his servant, ⁵  “Come on, we will go into one of the other towns ⁶  and spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.” 19:14 So they traveled on, ⁷  and the sun went down when they were near Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. ⁸  19:15 They stopped there and decided to spend the night ⁹  in Gibeah. They came into the city and sat down in the town square, but no one invited them to spend the night. ¹⁰
