they spend the night

To lodge, spend the night, or remain temporarily in a place; by extension, to stay, abide, dwell, or continue in a given state or location, sometimes with an emphasis on temporary or overnight residence. In some contexts, especially in Piel or intensive forms, it carries the sense of persisting in speech, often with the nuance of complaining or murmuring. The primary sense remains focused on pausing, halting one’s journey, or residing overnight.
