Judges 19:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 And as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, [a]wicked men beset the house round about, and [b]smote at the door, and spake to this old man the master of the house, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house that we may know him.
23 And (A)this man the master of the house went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay my brethren, do not so wickedly, I pray you, seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this villainy.
24 Behold, here is my daughter, a virgin, and his concubine: them will I bring out now, [c]and humble them, and do with them what seemeth you good: but to this man do not this villainy.

New International Version
22 While they were enjoying themselves,(A) some of the wicked men(B) of the city surrounded the house. Pounding on the door, they shouted to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house so we can have sex with him.(C)”
23 The owner of the house went outside(D) and said to them, “No, my friends, don’t be so vile. Since this man is my guest, don’t do this outrageous thing.(E) 24 Look, here is my virgin daughter,(F) and his concubine. I will bring them out to you now, and you can use them and do to them whatever you wish. But as for this man, don’t do such an outrageous thing.”
