19 In those days, when there was no king in Israel,+ a Levite who was then living in a remote part of the mountainous region of Eʹphra·im+ took a concubine from Bethʹle·hem+ in Judah as his wife. 2 But his concubine was unfaithful to him, and she left him to go to her father’s house at Bethʹle·hem in Judah. She remained there for four months.
