Judges 19:17 in Context — Judges 19
15 Ils se dirigèrent de ce côté pour aller passer la nuit à Guibea. Le Lévite entra, et il s’arrêta sur la place de la ville. Il n’y eut personne qui les reçût dans sa maison pour qu’ils y passassent la nuit.
16 Et voici, un vieillard revenait le soir de travailler aux champs; cet homme était de la montagne d’Éphraïm, il séjournait à Guibea, et les gens du lieu étaient Benjamites.
17 Il leva les yeux, et vit le voyageur sur la place de la ville. Et le vieillard lui dit: Où vas-tu, et d’où viens-tu?
18 Il lui répondit: Nous allons de Bethléhem de Juda jusqu’à l’extrémité de la montagne d’Éphraïm, d’où je suis. J’étais allé à Bethléhem de Juda, et je me rends à la maison de l’Éternel. Mais il n’y a personne qui me reçoive dans sa demeure.
19 Nous avons cependant de la paille et du fourrage pour nos ânes; nous avons aussi du pain et du vin pour moi, pour ta servante, et pour le garçon qui est avec tes serviteurs. Il ne nous manque rien.
