Chapter 19

1In those days, when there was no king in Yisrael, a Levite residing at the other end of the hill country of Efraim took to himself a concubine from Beit Lechem in Yehuda.

2Once his concubine deserted him, leaving him for her father's house in Beit Lechem in Yehuda; and she stayed there a full four months.

3Then her husband set out, with an attendant and a pair of donkeys, and went after her to woo her and to win her back. She admitted him into her father's house; and when the girl's father saw him, he received him warmly.

4His father-in-law, the girl's father, pressed him, and he stayed with him three days; they ate and drank and lodged there.

5Early in the morning of the fourth day, he started to leave; but the girl's father said to his son-in-law, “Eat something to give you strength, then you can leave.”

6So the two of them sat down and they feasted together. Then the girl's father said to the man, “Won't you stay overnight and enjoy yourself?”

7The man started to leave, but his father-in-law kept urging him until he turned back and spent the night there.

8Early in the morning of the fifth day, he was about to leave, when the girl's father said, “Come, have a bite.” The two of them ate, dawdling until past noon.

9Then the man, his concubine, and his attendant started to leave. His father-in-law, the girl's father, said to him, “Look, the day is waning toward evening; do stop for the night. See, the day is declining; spend the night here and enjoy yourself. You can start early tomorrow on your journey and head for home.”

10But the man refused to stay for the night. He set out and traveled as far as the vicinity of Jebus—that is, Yerushalayim; he had with him a pair of laden donkeys, and his concubine was with him.

11Since they were close to Jebus, and the day was very far spent, the attendant said to his master, “Let us turn aside to this town of the Jebusites and spend the night in it.”

12But his master said to him, “We will not turn aside to a town of aliens who are not of Yisrael, but will continue to Giva.

13Come,” he said to his attendant, “let us approach one of those places and spend the night either in Giva or in Rama.”

15They turned off there and went in to spend the night in Giva. He went and sat down in the town square, but nobody took them indoors to spend the night.

16In the evening, an old man came along from his property outside the town. (This man hailed from the hill country of Efraim and resided at Giva, where the townspeople were Benjaminites.)

17He happened to see the wayfarer in the town square. “Where,” the old man inquired, “are you going to, and where do you come from?”

18He replied, “We are traveling from Beit Lechem in Yehuda to the other end of the hill country of Efraim. That is where I live. I made a journey to Beit Lechem of Yehuda, and now I am on my way to the House of Hashem, and nobody has taken me indoors.

22While they were enjoying themselves, the townsmen, a depraved lot, had gathered about the house and were pounding on the door. They called to the aged owner of the house, “Bring out that man who’s come into your house, so that we can be intimate with him.”

23The owner of the house went out and said to them, “Please, my friends, do not commit such a wrong. Since this man has entered my house, do not perpetrate this outrage.

25But the men would not listen to him, so the man seized his concubine and pushed her out to them. They raped her and abused her all night long until morning; and they let her go when dawn broke.

27When her husband arose in the morning, he opened the doors of the house and went out to continue his journey; and there was the woman, his concubine, lying at the entrance of the house, with her hands on the threshold.

29When he came home, he picked up a knife, and took hold of his concubine and cut her up limb by limb into twelve parts. He sent them throughout the territory of Yisrael.
