## Judges 19:1-4 in Context (Verses 1–7 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/judges/19/1) And it came to pass in those days, when *there was* no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Beth-lehem-judah.*
 
 [2 ](/kjv/judges/19/2) And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father’s house to Beth-lehem-judah, and was there four whole months.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/judges/19/3) And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, *and* to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father’s house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/judges/19/4) And his father in law, the damsel’s father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/judges/19/5) ¶ And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel’s father said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/judges/19/6) And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel’s father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/judges/19/7) And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again.
