Judges 19:16 “an old man from his work out of the field at even” - Comments - This old man was perhaps one of the few righteous men in the city, and he was a hard worker, working from down till dusk. The sons of Belial were children of darkness who sleep in the day and roved at night.

Judges 19:18 And he said unto him, We are passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receiveth me to house.
