Judges 19:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 And he answered him, We came from Bethlehem Judah, unto the side of mount Ephraim: from thence am I: and I went to Bethlehem Judah, and go now to the [a]house of the Lord: and no man receiveth me to house,
19 Although we have straw and provender for our asses, and also bread and wine for me and thine handmaid, and for the boy that is with thy servant: we lack nothing.
20 And the old man said, [b]Peace be with thee: as for all that thou lackest, shalt thou find with me: only abide not in the street all night.

Judges 19:18-20
New International Version
18 He answered, “We are on our way from Bethlehem in Judah to a remote area in the hill country of Ephraim where I live. I have been to Bethlehem in Judah and now I am going to the house of the Lord.[a](A) No one has taken me in for the night. 19 We have both straw and fodder(B) for our donkeys(C) and bread and wine(D) for ourselves your servants—me, the woman and the young man with us. We don’t need anything.”
20 “You are welcome at my house,” the old man said. “Let me supply whatever you need. Only don’t spend the night in the square.”
