26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
26 At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight.
26 And as morning appeared, the woman came and fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, until it was light.
26 The woman came back and fell at the door of the house where her master was sleeping. When the sun rose, there she was.
26 Then the woman came as the day was dawning, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, till it was light.
26 At daybreak the woman returned to the house where her husband was staying. She collapsed at the door of the house and lay there until it was light.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 19:26
Chapter Contents
The wickedness of the men of Gibeah.
The three remaining chapters of this book contain a very sad history of the wickedness of the men of Gibeah, in Benjamin. The righteous Lord permits sinners to execute just vengeance on one another, and if the scene here described is horrible, what will the discoveries of the day of judgment be! Let each of us consider how to escape from the wrath to come, how to mortify the sins of our own hearts, to resist Satan's temptations, and to avoid the pollutions there are in the world.
