Judges 19:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 Now on the fifth day he got up to go early in the morning, but the girl’s father said, “Please strengthen [a]yourself, and wait until [b]late afternoon”; so both of them ate. 9 When the man got up to go, along with his concubine and servant, his father-in-law, the girl’s father, said to him, “Behold now, the day has drawn [c]to a close; please spend the night. Behold, the day is [d]coming to an end; spend the night here so that your heart may be cheerful. Then tomorrow you may arise early for your journey and go [e]home.”
10 But the man was unwilling to spend the night, so he got up and left, and came to a place opposite (A)Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And with him was a pair of saddled donkeys; his concubine also was with him.
