- 1In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a certain Levite living on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a concubine out of Bethlehem Judah.
- 2His concubine played the prostitute against him, and went away from him to her father’s house to Bethlehem Judah, and was there for four months.

- 4His father-in-law, the young lady’s father, kept him there; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank, and stayed there.
