Thematic Bible: The old man of gibeah

An old man came by at the end of a day's work on the farm. He was originally from the mountains of Ephraim, but he was now living in Gibeah. (The other people there were from the tribe of Benjamin.) The old man saw the traveler in the city square and asked: Where do you come from? Where are you going? The Levite answered: We have been in Bethlehem in Judah. We are on our way home deep in the mountains of Ephraim. No one will put us up for the night. read more.
We have fodder and straw for our donkeys and we have bread and wine for my concubine and me and for my servant. We have everything we need. The old man said: Come to my home. You are welcome! I will take care of you. You do not have to spend the night in the square. He took them home and fed their donkeys. They washed their feet and ate and drank.
