King David said to Absalom, “No, son. We will not all go. It will be too much trouble for you.”
So the Levite man and his father-in-law sat down to eat and drink together. After that, the young woman’s father said to the Levite man, “Please stay tonight. Relax and enjoy yourself. Wait until this afternoon to leave.” So the two men ate together.
Then, on the fifth day, the Levite [144] man got up early in the morning. He was ready to leave. But the woman’s father said to his son-in-law, “Eat something first. Relax and stay until this afternoon.” So they both ate together again.
