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

Judges 19:14 In-Context

12 His master replied, "No. We won't go into a city where strangers live. The people there aren't from Israel. We'll continue on to Gibeah."

13 He added, "Come. Let's try to reach Gibeah or Ramah. We can spend the night in one of those places."

14 So they continued on. As they came near Gibeah in Benjamin, the sun went down.

15 They stopped there to spend the night. They went to the city's main street and sat down. But no one took them home for the night.

16 That evening an old man came into the city. He had been working in the fields. He was from the hill country of Ephraim. But he was living in Gibeah. The people who lived there were from the tribe of Benjamin.
