Verse 18 is found in chapter 19 of Judges. The old man receives the travelers and provides food and lodging. Hospitality seems to offer brief refuge from the city’s hostility. However, the arrival of men from Gibeah quickly transforms the scene. The narrative uses this contrast to show that social corruption is not limited to isolated individuals but threatens the security of the community.

Ed egli gli disse: Noi passiamo da Bet-lehem di Giuda, per andare al fondo della montagna di Efraim; io sono di là, ed era andato fino a Bet-lehem di Giuda; e ora me ne vo alla Casa del Signore; e non vi è alcuno che mi accolga in casa.
E ele lhe disse: Viajamos de Belém de Judá até aos lados da montanha de Efraim, de onde sou; porquanto fui a Belém de Judá, porém agora vou à casa do SENHOR; e ninguém há que me recolha em casa,
