And it
came
to pass in
those
days
,
when
there
was
no king
in Israel
,
that
there
was a certain
Levite
sojourning
on the side
of mount
Ephraim
,
who took
to him a concubine out of
Bethlehem
judah.
2
And his concubine
played the whore
against
him, and
went
away
from him unto her father's
house
to Bethlehemjudah,
and
was there
four
whole
months
.
3
And her husband
arose
,
and went
after
her, to speak
friendly
unto her,
and
to bring her again,
having his servant
with him, and a couple
of asses
:
and she brought
him into her father's
house
:
and when the father
of the damsel
saw
him, he rejoiced to meet him.
4
And his
father
in law,
the damsel's
father
,
retained
him; and he abode
with him three
days
:
so they did eat
and drink
,
and lodged
there
.
5
And it came to pass on the fourth
day
,
when they arose early
in the morning
,
that he rose up
to depart:
and the damsel's
father
said
unto his son in law
,
Comfort
thine heart
with a morsel
of bread
,
and afterward
go your way.
6
And they sat down
,
and did eat
and drink
both
of them
to
gether:
for the damsel's
father
had said
un
to
the man
, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night,
and let thine heart
be merry
.
7
And when the man
rose up
to depart, his father in law
urged
him:
there
fore he lodged
there
again
.
8
And he arose early
in the morning
on the fifth
day
to depart:
and the damsel's
father
said
,
Comfort
thine heart
, I pray thee. And they tarried
until
afternoon
,
and they did eat
both
of them.
9
And when the man
rose up
to depart, he, and his concubine,
and his servant
, his
father
in law,
the damsel's
father
,
said
unto him,
Behold
,
now
the day
draweth
toward evening
,
I pray you tarry all night
: behold, the day
groweth to an end
,
lodge
here
, that thine heart
may be merry
;
and to morrow
get you early
on your way
,
that thou mayest go
home
.
10
But the man
would
not tarry that night
,
but
he
rose up
and departed
,
and came
over against
Jebus
,
which
is
Jerusalem
;
and
there were
with him two
asses
saddled,
his concubine
also
was
with him.
11
And
when they
were
by Jebus
,
the day
was far
spent
;
and the servant
said
unto his master
, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in
into this city
of the Jebusites
,
and lodge
in it.
12
And his master
said
unto him, We will not turn aside
hither into the city
of a stranger
,
that
is
not of the children
of Israel
;
we will pass over
to Gibeah
.
13
And he said
unto his servant
,
Come
,
and let us draw near
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 sun
went down
upon them
when they were
by
Gibeah
,
which
belongeth
to Benjamin
.
15
And they turned aside
thither, to go in
and
to lodge
in Gibeah
:
and when he went in
,
he sat him down
in a street
of the city
:
for
there
was
no
man
that took
them into his house
to lodging
.
16
And,
behold
, there came
an old
man
from his work
out of the field
at even
,
which
was
also
of mount
Ephraim
;
and he sojourned
in Gibeah
: but
the men
of the place
were
Benjamites
.
17
And when he had lifted up
his eyes
,
he saw
a wayfaring
man
in the street
of the city
:
and the old
man
said
, Whither goest
thou? and whence
comest
thou?
18
And he said
unto him, We
are
passing from
Bethlehem
judah
toward the side
of mount
Ephraim
; from thence
am
I: and I went
to
Bethlehem
judah,
but I
am now
going
to the house
of the LORD;
and
there
is
no man
that receiveth
me to house.
19
Yet
there
is
both straw
and provender
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 servants
:
there
is
no want
of any
thing.
20
And the old
man
said
,
Peace
be
with thee; howsoever
let
all
thy wants
lie
upon me; only lodge
not in the street
.
21
So he brought
him into his house
, and gave provender
unto the asses
:
and they washed
their feet
,
and did eat
and drink
.
22
Now
as they were making their hearts
merry
,
behold
, the men
of the city
, certain
sons
of Belial
, beset
the house
round about
,
and
beat
at the door
,
and spake
to the master
of
the house
,
the old
man
,
saying
,
Bring forth
the
man
that came
into thine house
,
that we may know
him.
23
And the man
,
the master
of the house
,
went out
unto them, and said unto them, Nay,
my brethren
,
nay
, I pray you,
do
not
so
wickedly;
seeing
that
this
man
is come
into mine house
,
do
not
this
folly
.
24
Behold,
here is
my daughter
a maiden
,
and his concubine
;
them I will bring out
now, and humble ye them, and
do
with them what seemeth
good
unto you: but unto this man
do
not so
vile
a thing
.
25
But the men
would
not hearken
to him: so the man
took
his concubine
,
and brought
her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused
her all
the night
until
the morning
:
and when the day
began to spring,
they let her go
.
26
Then came
the woman
in the dawning
of the day
,
and fell down
at the door
of the man's
house
where her lord
was
, till it was light.
27
And her lord
rose up
in the morning
,
and opened
the doors
of the house
,
and went out
to go
his way
: and,
behold
, the woman
his concubine
was fallen down
at
the door
of the house
,
and her hands
were
upon the threshold
.
28
And he said
unto her, Up, and let us be
go
ing.
But none answered
.
Then the man
took
her
up
upon an ass
, and the man
rose up
, and gat
him unto his place
.
29
And when he was come
into his house
,
he took
a knife
,
and laid hold
on his concubine
,
and divided
her,
together
with her bones, into twelve
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 seen
from the day
that the children
of Israel
came up
out of the land
of Egypt
unto
this
day
:
consider
of it, take advice,
and speak
your minds
.
