9 When the man got ready to set out with his secondary wife and servant, his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, said, "Look, the day has turned to evening, so spend the night. Seriously, the day is over. Spend the night here and enjoy yourself. Then you can get up early tomorrow for your journey, and you can head home."
10 But the man was unwilling to spend another night. He got up, set out, and went as far as the area of Jebus, that is, Jerusalem. He had a couple of saddled donkeys and his secondary wife with him.
11 When they were near Jebus, the day was totally gone. The servant said to his master, "Come on, let’s turn into this Jebusite city and spend the night in it."
12 But his master replied to him, “We won’t turn into a city of foreigners who aren’t Israelites. We’ll travel on to Gibeah.
13 "Come on," he said to his servant, "let’s reach Gibeah or Ramah and spend the night in one of those places."
14 So they traveled on, and the sun set when they were near Gibeah in Benjamin.
15 They turned in to enter there, so they could spend the night in Gibeah, and he went and sat down in the city square. But no one offered to take them home to spend the night.
