Judges 19:8

And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart: and the damsel’s father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them.

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

And they tarried until afternoon - Merely that they might avoid the heat of the day, which would have been very inconvenient in travelling.
