Judges 19:9-11

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁹ When the man arose to go along with his concubine and servant, his father-in-law, the girl’s father, said to him, “Behold now, the day has drawn ^[a]to a close; please spend the night. Lo, the day is ^[b]coming to an end; spend the night here that your heart may be merry. Then tomorrow you may arise early for your journey so that you may go ^[c]home.”

¹⁰ But the man was not willing to spend the night, so he arose and departed and came to a place opposite ^(A)Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a pair of saddled donkeys; his concubine also was with him. ¹¹ When they were near Jebus, the day was almost gone; and ^(B)the servant said to his master, “Please come, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and spend the night in it.”
