Judges 19:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ He said, “Come on. Let’s try to make it to Gibeah or Ramah so we can spend the night in one of those cities.” ¹⁴ So they went on. The sun went down as they came near Gibeah, which belongs to the tribe of Benjamin. ¹⁵ They stopped there to spend the night. They came to the public square [^Can open area inside the city gate, the hub for business, government, and social interaction] of the city and sat down, but no one invited them home to spend the night [^Ca mark of shame for the city, since hospitality was of great importance; contrast this with vv. 3–9].
