night: behold, the day groweth to an end,
lodge here, that thine heart may be
merry; and to
morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.

spend the
night. See, the day is almost over.

night here, that your heart may be
merry. Then you can get up early

asses saddled, his
concubine also was with him.
But the man was unwilling to
spend the
night. He got up and departed, and arrived opposite
Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), with his two
saddled donkeys and his
concubine.
And when they were by
Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and
lodge in it.
When they were near
Jebus and the day was almost gone, the servant said to his master, “Please, let us stop at this Jebusite city and
spend the
night here.”
And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to
lodge all
night, in Gibeah, or in
Ramah.
He continued, “Come, let us try to reach one of these towns to
spend the
night in Gibeah or
Ramah.”
And they turned aside thither, to go in and to
lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to
lodging.
They stopped to go in and
lodge in Gibeah. The
Levite went in and sat down in the city square, but no one would take them into his home for the
night.
