Judges 19:1

In those days , when there was no king in Israel , a certain Levite was sojourning in the remote parts of the hill country of Ephraim , who took to himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah .

In those days Israel had no king. Now a Levite who lived in a remote area in the hill country of Ephraim took a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.

And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Beth–lehem–judah.
