Judges 19:20 Context
18And 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. 19Yet 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. 20And the olde man said, Peace be with thee; howsoeuer, let all thy wants lie vpon me; only lodge not in the street. 21So 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.
