As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain base fellows, beset the house round about, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man who came into your house, that we may know him.
"Then came the woman and fell down at the door of the man's house, where her lord was"  (Judges 19:26).  "Poor thing!  With her last breath, she turned to the house where her lord was, who should have protected her, but who had abandoned her in her hour of need."[17]
