BRAGADAYJAH 783
Now after they departed the
father-in-law’s house, they journeyed on until evening and when they neared the
city of Jebus, one of the servants suggested to his master that they should
enter in and lodge there for the night; but the master declined saying he would
not care to lodge in a city of the Jebusites not being of the tribe of Israel. And
he chose instead to go on to Gibeah; so they decided to go on to Gibeah hoping
to arrive there before dark; but by the time they reached Gibeah which was a
city of Benjamin, the sun was set; and it turned out that there in Gibeah they
could find no place to lodge the night; so they sat down at the side of the
street. But while sitting there, they encountered an old man who dwelt in the
city, who asked them where they were from and where they were going; and after
they explained to the stranger, who they were, where they were from and where
they were going, the old man invited them to spend the night, promising them
food for themselves and hay for the asses.
