Judges 19:17 in Context — Judges 19

15 E apartaram-se do caminho para entrar a ter ali a noite em Gibeá; e entrando, sentaram-se na praça da cidade, porque não houve quem os acolhesse em casa para passar a noite.

16 E eis que um homem velho, que à tarde vinha do campo de trabalhar; o qual era do monte de Efraim, e morava como peregrino em Gibeá, mas os moradores daquele lugar eram filhos de Benjamim.

17 E levantando o velho os olhos, viu aquele viajante na praça da cidade, e disse-lhe: Para onde vais, e de onde vens?

18 E ele respondeu: Passamos de Belém de Judá aos lados do monte de Efraim, de onde eu sou; e parti até Belém de Judá; e vou à casa do SENHOR, e não há quem me receba em casa,

19 Ainda que nós tenhamos palha e de comer para nossos asnos, e também temos pão e vinho para mim e para tua serva, e para o criado que está com teu servo; de nada temos falta.
