Judges 19:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 And the old man said, [a]Peace be with thee: as for all that thou lackest, shalt thou find with me: only abide not in the street all night.
21 ¶ So he brought him into his house, and gave fodder unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
22 And as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, [b]wicked men beset the house round about, and [c]smote at the door, and spake to this old man the master of the house, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house that we may know him.

New International Version
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.” 21 So he took him into his house and fed his donkeys. After they had washed their feet, they had something to eat and drink.(A)
22 While they were enjoying themselves,(B) some of the wicked men(C) of the city surrounded the house. Pounding on the door, they shouted to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house so we can have sex with him.(D)”
