Judges 19:4 in Context — Judges 19
2 Y su concubina adulteró contra él, y fuese de él á casa de su padre, á Beth-lehem de Judá, y estuvo allá por tiempo de cuatro meses.
3 Y levantóse su marido, y siguióla, para hablarle amorosamente y volverla, [llevando] consigo un criado suyo y un par de asnos; y ella le metió en la casa de su padre.
4 Y viéndole el padre de la moza, salióle á recibir gozoso; y detúvole su suegro, padre de la moza, y quedó en su casa tres días, comiendo y bebiendo, y reposando allí.
5 Y al cuarto día, como se levantaron de mañana, levantóse también el [Levita] para irse, y el padre de la moza dijo á su yerno: Conforta tu corazón con un bocado de pan, y después os iréis.
6 Y sentáronse ellos dos juntos, y comieron y bebieron. Y el padre de la moza dijo al varón: Yo te ruego que te quieras quedar aquí esta noche, y alegraráse tu corazón.
