Judges 19:20-22
Amplified Bible
20 Then the old man said, “Peace be to you. Only leave all your needs to me; and do not spend the night in the open square.” 21 So he brought him into his house and fed the donkeys; and they washed their feet and ate and drank.
22 While they were [a]celebrating, behold, men of the city, certain worthless and evil men, surrounded the house, pounding on the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, “Bring out the man who came to your house so that we may have relations with him.”
