The King James Version Bible

Judges 19:16-21

  1. And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.

  2. And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?

  3. And he said unto him, We are passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receiveth me to house.

  4. Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of any thing.

  5. And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.

  6. So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
