07:019:020 And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all
           thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.

07:019:021 So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the
           asses:  and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.

07:019:022 Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of
           the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about,
           and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house,
           the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine
           house, that we may know him.

07:019:023 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and
           said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so
           wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not
           this folly.

07:019:024 Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them
           I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them
           what seemeth good unto you:  but unto this man do not so vile a
           thing.

07:019:025 But the men would not hearken to him:  so the man took his
           concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her,
           and abused her all the night until the morning:  and when the
           day began to spring, they let her go.

07:019:026 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down
           at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was
           light.

07:019:027 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of
           the house, and went out to go his way:  and, behold, the woman
           his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and
           her hands were upon the threshold.

07:019:028 And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going.  But none
           answered.  Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man
           rose up, and gat him unto his place.

07:019:029 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid
           hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her
           bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of
           Israel.

07:019:030 And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such
           deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel
           came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day:  consider of
           it, take advice, and speak your minds.

07:020:001 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation
           was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba,
           with the land of Gilead, unto the lord in Mizpeh.

07:020:002 And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of
           Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of
           God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
