10 But the man was not willing to spend the night , so he arose and departed and came to a place opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem ). And there were with him a pair of saddled donkeys ; his concubine also was with him. 11 When they were near Jebus , the day was almost gone ; and the servant said to his master , "Please come , and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and spend the night in it."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 19:10-11
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.
