10 But the man was unwilling to spend the night. He got up and departed, and arrived opposite Jebus (threshing place) (that is, Jerusalem (city of peace)), with his two saddled donkeys and his concubine. 11 When they were near Jebus (threshing place) and the day was almost gone, the servant said to his master, “Please, let us stop at this Jebusite (Jerusalemite) city and spend the night here.” 12 But his master replied, “We will not turn aside to the city of foreigners, where there are no Israelites (God prevails). We will go on to Gibeah (hill).” 13 He continued, “Come, let us try to reach one of these towns to spend the night in Gibeah (hill) or Ramah.” 14 So they continued on their journey, and the sun set as they neared Gibeah (hill) in Benjamin (son of the right hand). 15 They stopped to go in and lodge in Gibeah (hill). The Levite went in and sat down in the city square, but no one would take them into his home for the night. 16 That evening an old man from the hill country of Ephraim (doubly fruitful), who was residing in Gibeah (hill) (the men of that place were Benjamites (son of the right hand)), came in from his work in the field.
