Judges 19:14

And they passed on, and went their way
Proceeded on in their journey from Jebus or Jerusalem, near to which they were:

and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which

which is added, to distinguish it from another Gibeah in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:57 ) when they were come pretty near to this place, on the side of it, as it seems, the sun was just setting, which determined them to take up their lodging here, as follows.

Judges 19:14 In-Context

12 The Levite told him, "We'll never go into a city of foreigners. They're not Israelites. We'll go on to Gibeah."
13 He told his servant, "Let's go someplace else. We'll spend the night either at Gibeah or Ramah."
14 So they went on. It was sunset by the time they arrived at Gibeah. (Gibeah belonged to the tribe of Benjamin.)
15 They went to spend the night there. The Levite entered Gibeah and sat down in the city square, because no one offered to take them home for the night.
16 That evening an old man came into the city from his work in the fields. He was from the mountain region of Ephraim but lived in Gibeah. The other people who lived there were from the tribe of Benjamin.
