Judges 19:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ On the fourth day they got up early in the morning, and he prepared to go; but the girl’s father said to his son-in-law, “Fortify yourself with a bit of food, and after that you may go.” ⁶ So the two men sat and ate and drank together; and the girl’s father said to the man, “Why not spend the night and enjoy yourself?” ⁷ When the man got up to go, his father-in-law kept urging him until he spent the night there again.
