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.

Verse 15 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.

Y apartáronse del camino para entrar a tener allí la noche en Gabaa; y entrando, sentáronse en la plaza de la ciudad, porque no hubo quien los acogiese en casa para pasar la noche.
Se desviaron para entrar y pasar la noche en Gabaa. Él entró y se sentó en la plaza de la ciudad, pero nadie los acogió en su casa para pasar la noche.
Ils se dirigèrent de ce côté pour aller passer la nuit à Guibea. Le Lévite entra, et il s'arrêta sur la place de la ville. Il n'y eut personne qui les reçût dans sa maison pour qu'ils y passassent la nuit.
Ed essi si rivolsero là, per andare ad albergare in Ghibea. Ed essendo quel Levita entrato nella città, si fermò in su la piazza; e non vi fu alcuno che li accogliesse in casa per passar la notte
E retiraram-se para lá, para passarem a noite em Gibeá; e, entrando ele, assentou-se na praça da cidade, porque não houve quem os recolhesse em casa para ali passarem a noite.
