12But his master said to him, We will not go out of our way into a strange town, whose people are not of the children of Israel; but we will go on to Gibeah.
13And he said to his servant, Come, let us go on to one of these places, stopping for the night in Gibeah or Ramah.
14So they went on their way; and the sun went down when they were near Gibeah in the land of Benjamin.
15And they went off the road there with the purpose of stopping for the night in Gibeah: and he went in, seating himself in the street of the town, for no one took them into his house for the night.
16Now when it was evening they saw an old man coming back from his work in the fields; he was from the hill-country of Ephraim and was living in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.
17And when he saw the traveller in the street of the town, the old man said, Where are you going? and where do you come from?
18And he said to him, We are on our way from Beth-lehem-judah to the inmost parts of the hill-country of Ephraim: I came from there and went to Beth-lehem-judah: now I am on my way back to my house, but no man will take me into his house.
