Judges 19:4 in Context — Judges 19
2 E sua concubina adulterou contra ele, e foi-se dele à casa de seu pai, a Belém de Judá, e esteve ali por tempo de quatro meses.
3 E levantou-se seu marido, e seguiu-a, para falar-lhe amorosamente e trazê-la de volta, levando consigo um criado seu e um par de asnos; e ela o meteu na casa de seu pai.
4 E vendo-lhe o pai da moça, saiu-lhe a receber contente; e seu sogro, pai da moça, o deteve, e ficou em sua casa três dias, comendo e bebendo, e repousando ali.
5 E ao quarto dia, quando se levantaram de manhã, levantou-se também o levita para ir-se, e o pai da moça disse a seu genro: Conforta teu coração com um bocado de pão, e depois vos ireis.
6 E sentaram-se eles dois juntos, e comeram e beberam. E o pai da moça disse ao homem: Eu te rogo que te queiras ficar aqui esta noite, e teu coração se alegrará.
