Hakim-hakim 19:10-15

19:10 But the man did not want to stay another night. He left ¹  and traveled as far as ²  Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). ³  He had with him a pair of saddled donkeys and his concubine. ⁴ 

19:11 When they got near Jebus, it was getting quite late ⁵  and the servant ⁶  said to his master, “Come on, let’s stop at ⁷  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. ⁸  We will travel on to Gibeah.” 19:13 He said to his servant, ⁹  “Come on, we will go into one of the other towns ¹⁰  and spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.” 19:14 So they traveled on, ¹¹  and the sun went down when they were near Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. ¹²  19:15 They stopped there and decided to spend the night ¹³  in Gibeah. They came into the city and sat down in the town square, but no one invited them to spend the night. ¹⁴
