And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.

Verse 14 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.

Und sie zogen weiter und wandelten, und die Sonne ging ihnen unter, hart bei Gibea, das liegt in Benjamin.
Pasando pues, caminaron, y púsoseles el sol junto a Gabaa, que era de Benjamín.
Siguieron caminando, y el sol se les puso cerca de Gabaa, que pertenece a Benjamín.
Ils continuèrent à marcher, et le soleil se coucha quand ils furent près de Guibea, qui appartient à Benjamin.
Essi adunque passarono oltre, e camminarono; e il sole tramontò loro presso a Ghibea, la quale è di Beniamino.
Passaram, pois, adiante, e caminharam, e o sol se lhes pôs junto a Gibeá, que é cidade de Benjamim.
於是他們越過那裏往前走,將到 便雅憫 的 基比亞 的時候,太陽已經下山了。
