Judges 19:19-26 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

19. Yet there is both straw and fodder for our donkeys, and also bread and wine for me, your maidservant, and the young man who is with your servants; there is no lack of anything."

20. The old man said, "Peace to you. Only let me take care of all your needs; however, do not spend the night in the open square."

21. So he took him into his house and gave the donkeys fodder, and they washed their feet and ate and drank.

22. While they were celebrating, behold, the men of the city, certain worthless fellows, surrounded the house, pounding the door; and they spoke to the owner of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house that we may have relations with him."

23. Then the man, the owner of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my fellows, please do not act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, do not commit this act of folly.

24. Here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. Please let me bring them out that you may ravish them and do to them whatever you wish. But do not commit such an act of folly against this man."

25. But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them; and they raped her and abused her all night until morning, then let her go at the approach of dawn.

26. As the day began to dawn, the woman came and fell down at the doorway of the man's house where her master was, until full daylight.
