Judges 19:1

On the night before he fled from Geneva, Rousseau relates how finding himself unusually wakeful, "I continued my reading beyond my usual hour, and read the whole passage ending at the story of the Levite of Ephraim—in the book of Judges 19:16

I hear but of one man at his work in all Gibeah; the rest were quaffing and revelling. That one man ends his work with a charitable entertainment; the others end their play in a brutish beastliness and violence.

—Bishop Hall.

Reference.—XIX:20.—H. J. Wilmot-Buxton, Common Life Religion, p232.
