Verse 12 is found in chapter 19 of Judges. The Levite and his group arrive in Gibeah at evening, but no one offers them hospitality. Finally, they sit in the public square until an elderly Ephraimite takes them into his house. The scene highlights the breakdown of traditional norms of hospitality and solidarity. Gibeah, which should belong to the covenant people, begins behaving like a morally disintegrated society.
