Judges 19:20-27 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

20. Then the old man said, Peace be with thee; only let all thy wants lie on me; but lodge not in the street.

21. And he brought him into his house, and gave the asses provender; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.

22. They were making their hearts merry, when behold, the men of the city, sons of Belial, surrounded the house, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may know him.

23. And the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, No, my brethren, I pray you, do not wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, do not this villany.

24. Behold, my daughter, who is a virgin, and his concubine; let me bring them out, and humble ye them, and do to them as is good in your sight; but to this man do not so vile a thing.

25. But the men would not hearken to him; and the man took his concubine, and brought her forth to them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning; and let her go when the morning-dawn arose.

26. And the woman came at the dawning of the day, and fell down at the entrance 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 door of the house, and went out to go his way, and behold, there lay the woman his concubine at the entrance of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
