SCRIPTURE

"And his father-in-law, the damsel`s father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there." — Judges 19:4 (ASV)

And his father in law, the damsel's father, retained him
Prevailed upon him to stay some time with him:

and he abode with him three days ;
it seems as if he agreed to stay with him so long, and that time he stayed contentedly:

so they did eat and drink, and lodged there ;
the Levite and his servant were very handsomely entertained, and had everything provided for them convenient for meat, drink, and lodging.
