Verse 21 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.
