Judges 19:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ Just then, an old man was coming from his work in the field because it was evening. The man was from the hill country of Ephraim, but he was living in Gibeah, though the men of that place were Benjaminites. ¹⁷ The old man looked up and saw the traveler in the city square, and the old man said, “Where are you going, and where did you come from?”

¹⁸ The Levite said to him, “We are traveling from Bethlehem of Judah to a remote part of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there. I traveled as far as Bethlehem of Judah, and now I am going to the House of the Lord, but there is no one who will take me into his house.
