Judges 19:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
19 1 A Levite’s wife being an harlot forsook her husband, and he took her again. 25 At Gibeah she was most villainously abused to the death. 29 The Levite cutteth her in pieces, and sendeth her to the twelve tribes.
1 Also in those days, when there was no king in Israel, a certain Levite dwelt on the side of mount Ephraim, and took to wife a (A)concubine out of Bethlehem Judah,
2 And his concubine played the whore [a]there, and went away from him unto her father’s house to Bethlehem Judah, and there continued the space of four months.
3 And her husband arose and went after her, to speak [b]friendly unto her, and to bring her again: he had also his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him unto her father’s house, and when the young woman’s father saw him, he rejoiced [c]of his coming.
