Judges 19:2

---

← Judges 19:1	Judges 19:2 (KJV)	Judges 19:3 →
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 Bethlehemjudah.	And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father's house to Bethlehemjudah, and was there four whole months.	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.
