Judges 19:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ The man got up to go, but his father-in-law urged him, and he returned and spent the night there. ⁸ On the fifth day he rose early in the morning to go, and the father of the young woman said, “Please, enjoy yourself,”^[a] and they lingered until the day declined, and the two of them ate. ⁹ And the man got up to go—he, his concubine, and his servant—but his father-in-law, the father of the young woman, said to him, “Please, the day has worn on to evening; please, spend the night, the day has drawn to a close. Spend the night here and enjoy yourself.^[b] You can rise early tomorrow for your journey and go to your home.”^[c]
