Chapter 19
And
it
came
to
passe
in
those
dayes,
when
there
was
no
King
in
Israel,
that
there
was
a
certaine
Leuite
soiourning
on
the
side
of
mount
Ephraim,
who
tooke
to
him
a
concubine
out
of
Bethlehem
Iudah.
2
And
his
concubine
played
the
whore
against
him,
and
went
away
from
him
vnto
her
fathers
house
to
Bethlehem
Iudah,
and
was
there
foure
whole
moneths.
3
And
her
husband
arose,
and
went
after
her
to
speake
friendly
vnto
her,
and
to
bring
her
againe,
hauing
his
seruant
with
him,
and
a
couple
of
asses:
and
shee
brought
him
into
her
fathers
house,
and
when
the
father
of
the
damsell
saw
him,
he
reioyced
to
meet
him.
4
And
his
father
in
law,
the
damosels
father,
reteined
him,
and
hee
abode
with
him
three
dayes:
so
they
did
eate
and
drinke,
and
lodged
there.
5
And
it
came
to
passe
on
the
fourth
day,
when
they
arose
earely
in
the
morning,
that
he
rose
vp
to
depart:
and
the
damosels
father
saide
vnto
his
sonne
in
lawe,
Comfort
thine
heart
with
a
morsell
of
bread,
and
afterward
goe
your
way.
6
And
they
sate
downe,
and
did
eat
and
drinke
both
of
them
together:
for
the
damosels
father
had
saide
vnto
the
man,
Be
content,
I
pray
thee,
and
tary
all
night,
and
let
thine
heart
be
merrie.
7
And
when
the
man
rose
vp
to
depart,
his
father
in
law
vrged
him:
therfore
he
lodged
there
againe.
8
And
hee
arose
early
in
the
morning
on
the
fift
day
to
depart,
and
the
damosels
father
sayd,
Comfort
thine
heart,
I
pray
thee.
And
they
taried
vntill
after
noone,
and
they
did
eate
both
of
them.
9
And
when
the
man
rose
vp
to
depart,
hee
and
his
concubine,
and
his
seruant;
his
father
in
law,
the
damsels
father,
said
vnto
him,
Behold,
now
the
day
draweth
towardes
euening,
I
pray
you
tarie
all
night:
behold,
the
day
groweth
to
an
ende,
lodge
heere,
that
thine
heart
may
be
merrie;
and
to
morrow
get
you
early
on
your
way,
that
thou
mayest
goe
home.
10
But
the
man
would
not
tary
that
night,
but
he
rose
vp
and
departed,
and
came
ouer
against
Iebus
(which
is
Ierusalem:)
and
there
were
with
him
two
asses
sadled,
his
concubine
also
was
with
him.
11
And
when
they
were
by
Iebus,
the
day
was
farre
spent,
and
the
seruant
said
vnto
his
master,
Come,
I
pray
thee,
and
let
vs
turne
in
into
this
citie
of
the
Iebusites,
and
lodge
in
it.
12
And
his
master
said
vnto
him,
We
will
not
turne
aside
hither
into
the
citie
of
a
stranger,
that
is
not
of
the
children
of
Israel,
we
will
passe
ouer
to
Gibeah.
13
And
hee
sayde
vnto
his
seruant,
Come,
and
let
vs
draw
neere
to
one
of
these
places
to
lodge
all
night,
in
Gibeah,
or
in
Ramah.
14
And
they
passed
on
and
went
their
way,
and
the
sunne
went
downe
vpon
them
when
they
were
by
Gibeah,
which
belongeth
to
Beniamin.
15
And
they
turned
aside
thither,
to
go
in
and
to
lodge
in
Gibeah:
and
when
he
went
in,
he
sate
him
downe
in
a
street
of
the
citie:
for
there
was
no
man
that
tooke
them
into
his
house
to
lodging.
16
And
behold,
there
came
an
olde
man
from
his
worke
out
of
the
field
at
euen,
which
was
also
of
mount
Ephraim;
and
hee
soiourned
in
Gibeah,
but
the
men
of
the
place
were
Beniamites.
17
And
when
he
had
lift
vp
his
eyes,
he
saw
a
wayfaring
man
in
the
streete
of
the
citie:
and
the
old
man
said,
Whither
goest
thou?
And
whence
commest
thou?
18
And
he
said
vnto
him,
We
are
passing
from
Bethlehem
Iudah,
toward
the
side
of
mount
Ephraim,
from
thence
am
I:
and
I
went
to
Bethlehem
Iudah,
but
I
am
now
going
to
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
there
is
no
man
that
receiueth
me
to
house.
19
Yet
there
is
both
straw
and
prouender
for
our
asses,
and
there
is
bread
and
wine
also
for
me
and
for
thy
handmaid,
and
for
the
young
man
which
is
with
thy
seruants:
there
is
no
want
of
any
thing.
20
And
the
olde
man
said,
Peace
be
with
thee;
howsoeuer,
let
all
thy
wants
lie
vpon
me;
only
lodge
not
in
the
street.
21
So
he
brought
him
into
his
house,
and
gaue
prouender
vnto
the
asses:
and
they
washed
their
feet,
and
did
eate
and
drinke.
22
Now
as
they
were
making
their
hearts
merrie,
behold,
the
men
of
the
citie,
certaine
sonnes
of
Belial,
beset
the
house
round
about,
and
beat
at
the
doore,
and
spake
to
the
master
of
the
house,
the
olde
man,
saying;
Bring
foorth
the
man
that
came
into
thine
house,
that
we
may
know
him.
23
And
the
man,
the
master
of
the
house,
went
out
vnto
them,
and
said
vnto
them,
Nay
my
brethren,
nay,
I
pray
you
doe
not
so
wickedly;
seeing
that
this
man
is
come
into
mine
house,
doe
not
this
folly.
24
Behold,
here
is
my
daughter,
a
maiden,
and
his
concubine,
them
I
wil
bring
out
now,
and
humble
yee
them,
and
doe
with
them
what
seemeth
good
vnto
you:
but
vnto
this
man
doe
not
so
vile
a
thing.
25
But
the
men
would
not
hearken
to
him:
so
the
man
tooke
his
concubine,
and
brought
her
foorth
vnto
them,
and
they
knew
her,
and
abused
her
all
the
night
vntil
the
morning:
and
when
the
day
began
to
spring,
they
let
her
goe.
26
Then
came
the
woman
in
the
dawning
of
the
day,
and
fell
downe
at
the
doore
of
the
mans
house,
where
her
lord
was,
till
it
was
light.
27
And
her
lord
rose
vp
in
the
morning,
&
opened
the
doores
of
the
house,
and
went
out
to
goe
his
way:
and
behold,
the
woman
his
concubine
was
fallen
downe
at
the
doore
of
the
house,
and
her
hands
were
vpon
the
threshold.
28
And
he
said
vnto
her,
Up,
and
let
vs
be
going.
But
none
answered:
then
the
man
tooke
her
vp
vpon
an
asse,
and
the
man
rose
vp,
and
gate
him
vnto
his
place.
29
And
when
he
was
come
into
his
house,
hee
tooke
a
knife,
and
layd
hold
on
his
concubine,
and
diuided
her,
together
with
her
bones,
into
twelue
pieces,
and
sent
her
into
all
the
coasts
of
Israel.
30
And
it
was
so
that
all
that
saw
it,
said,
There
was
no
such
deed
done
nor
seene,
from
the
day
that
the
children
of
Israel
came
vp
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
vnto
this
day:
consider
of
it,
take
aduise,
and
speake
your
mindes.
