---

Levite travels to Bethlehem to retrieve his unfaithful concubine from her parents' home. After several days at her parents' home, the Levite departs with the woman and his servant. They approach the city of Jebus (Jerusalem) late in the afternoon. The servant suggests that they spend the night there, but the Levite refuses to stay in a town that isn't controlled by Israelites. They continue on to the city of Gibeah.
