*
And it came to pass in those days ,
when there was no king in Israel ,
that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill-country of Ephraim ,
who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehem-judah .
*
And his concubine played the harlot against him ,
and went away from him to her father '
s house to Bethlehem-judah ,
and was there the space of four months .
*
And her husband arose ,
and went after her ,
to speak kindly to her ,
to bring her again ,
having his servant with him ,
and a couple of donkeys .
And she brought him into her father '
s house ,
and when the father of the damsel saw him ,
he
*
And his father-in-law ,
the damsel '
s father ,
retained him ,
and he abode with him three days .
So they ate and drank ,
and lodged there .
