Judges 19:14 In-Context

12 But his master said, "No. We won't go inside a foreign city. Those people are not Israelites. We will go on to the city of Gibeah."

13 He said, "Come on. Let's try to make it to Gibeah or Ramah so we can spend the night in one of those cities."

14 So they went on. The sun went down as they came near Gibeah, which belongs to the tribe of Benjamin.

15 They stopped there to spend the night. They came to the public square of the city and sat down, but no one invited them home to spend the night.

16 Finally, in the evening an old man came in from his work in the fields. His home was in the mountains of Ephraim, but now he was living in Gibeah. (The people of Gibeah were from the tribe of Benjamin.)
