Judges 19:16-18

New Life Version

¹⁶ In the evening an old man came out of the field from his work. He was from the hill country of Ephraim and was staying in Gibeah. But the men of the place were Benjamites. ¹⁷ The old man looked up and saw the traveler in the center of the city, and said, “Where are you going? Where do you come from?” ¹⁸ The Levite said to him, “We are traveling from Bethlehem in Judah to a far away part of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there. I went to Bethlehem in Judah, but am now returning home. But no one will take me into his house.
