Judges 19:3-5

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

³ Then her husband got up and followed her to speak kindly to her^(A) and bring her back. He had his servant with him and a pair of donkeys. So she brought him to her father’s house, and when the girl’s father saw him, he gladly welcomed him. ⁴ His father-in-law, the girl’s father, detained him, and he stayed with him for three days. They ate, drank, and spent the nights there.

⁵ On the fourth day, they got up early in the morning and prepared to go, but the girl’s father said to his son-in-law, ‘Have something to eat to keep up your strength^(B) and then you can go.’
