Verse 10 is found in chapter 19 of Judges. A Levite from Ephraim takes a concubine from Bethlehem, who eventually leaves him and returns to her father’s house. The Levite travels to bring her back and remains several days as a guest. When he finally begins his journey home, he decides to spend the night in Gibeah of Benjamin rather than in a foreign city. The choice prepares the moral contrast that will dominate the following scene.

Le mari ne voulut point passer la nuit, il se leva et partit. Il arriva jusque devant Jebus, qui est Jérusalem, avec les deux ânes bâtés et avec sa concubine.
Ma quell’uomo non volle star quivi la notte; anzi si levò, e se ne andò; e giunse fin dirincontro a Iebus, che è Gerusalemme, co’ suoi due asini carichi, e con la sua concubina.
Porém o homem não quis ali passar a noite, mas levantou-se, e partiu, e chegou até defronte de Jebus (que é Jerusalém), e com ele o par de jumentos albardados, como também a sua concubina.
