Judges 19:1-6

A Levite and His Concubine

1In those days, awhen there was no king in Israel, a certain Levite was sojourning in the remote parts of bthe hill country of Ephraim, who took to himself a concubine from cBethlehem in Judah. 2And his concubine was unfaithful to
Septuagint, Old Latin became angry with
him, and she went away from him to her father’s house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there some four months.
3Then her husband arose and went after her, to speak kindly to her and bring her back. He had with him his servant and a couple of donkeys. And she brought him into her father’s house. And when the girl’s father saw him, he came with joy to meet him. 4And his father-in-law, the girl’s father, made him stay, and he remained with him three days. So they ate and drank and spent the night there. 5And on the fourth day they arose early in the morning, and he prepared to go, but the girl’s father said to his son-in-law, eStrengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and after that you may go.” 6So the two of them sat and ate and drank together. And the girl’s father said to the man, “Be pleased to spend the night, and flet your heart be merry.”
