Contextual Overview
16 Finally, in the evening an old man came in from his work in the fields. His home was in the mountains of Ephraim, but now he was living in Gibeah. (The people of Gibeah were from the tribe of Benjamin.) 17 He saw the traveler in the public square and asked, "Where are you going? Where did you come from?" 18 The Levite answered, "We are traveling from Bethlehem in Judah to my home in the mountains of Ephraim. I have been to Bethlehem in Judah, but now I am going to the Holy Tent of the Lord . No one has invited me to stay in his house. 19 We already have straw and food for our donkeys and bread and wine for me, the young woman, and my servant. We don't need anything." 20 The old man said, "You are welcome to stay at my house. Let me give you anything you need, but don't spend the night in the public square." 21 So the old man took the Levite into his house, and he fed their donkeys. They washed their feet and had something to eat and drink.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So he brought him into his house,.... Showed him the way to it, and in a kind and friendly manner introduced him, and bid him welcome:
and gave provender unto the asses; this is mentioned first, it being then perhaps, as now, the first thing that a careful man is concerned for, to see that his cattle is taken care of, and then himself; and such a method this ancient good man took with his guest:
and they washed their feet; which was commonly done to strangers in those hot countries, and was very refreshing, see Genesis 18:4
and did eat and drink; sat down at table and supped with him.
