Judges 19:18-20
New American Standard Bible 1995
18 He said to him, “We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, for I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. But I am now going to [a]my house, and no man will take me into his house. 19 Yet there is both straw and fodder for our donkeys, and also bread and wine for me, [b]your maidservant, and (A)the young man who is with your servants; there is no lack of anything.” 20 The old man said, “(B)Peace to you. Only let me take care of all your needs; however, do not spend the night in the open square.”

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.”
