Judges 19:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ He replied, “We’re traveling from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote part of the mountainous region^[a] of Ephraim, because I’m from there, and I’ve been visiting Bethlehem in Judah. I’m going home now, but no one will take me into his home. ¹⁹ Meanwhile, we also have straw and fodder for our donkeys, and bread and wine for me, for this^[b] young woman servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. We don’t need anything else.”

²⁰ The old man replied, “Don’t be alarmed. I’ll take care of all your needs. Just don’t spend the night in the public square.”
