Geneva Study Bible - Genesis 19:38

19:38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name {t} Benammi: the same [is] the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.(t) That is, son of my people: signifying that they rejoiced in their sin, rather than repenting of it. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:1-38

SODOM'S WICKEDNESS EXPOSED Not in the heat of the day, but in the evening, the two angels arrived at Sodom. Lot was sitting in the gate, the place of a judge. He was a believer making an effort to control the evil natures of ungodly men. Many Christians since that time have attempted to make the world better by their entering politics, but the Christian is "not of this world;" rather he has a message of grace that has power to deliver people "out of this present evil world" (Galatians 1:4),... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 19:1-38

SODOM AND GOMORRAH THE SODOM MOB (Genesis 19:1-11 ) What leads to the belief that Lot did not recognize the nature of his visitors (Genesis 19:2-3 )? (Compare Hebrews 13:2 .) The following verses show that the Sodomites sought acquaintance with these supposed men for those vile purposes which have ever been associated with the name of their city. It was for this that Lot, at the risk of his life, came to their defense, for the duty of protecting a guest has always been accounted among... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Genesis 19:1-38

The Destruction of Sodom Gen 19:24-25 There must have been some very strong justification for an act so terrible. This right of destruction may, I think, be fairly inquired into by human reason, and ought to be well studied as a fact that has been repeatedly realised in human history. Understand, if you please, that there is a Power above us which can utterly devour and consume our life. It is important to feel the whole force of this truth, especially as showing that life is not independent... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 19:37-38

And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day. Awful effects of sin! Those nations were the sworn foes of the Lord's people through all generations. Here ends the history of Lot. REFLECTIONS. My soul! do not hastily turn thine eyes of reflection from this Chapter. Behold in it the graciousness of God's mercy in the midst of judgment, and connect with it this precious assurance, in all times of prevailing... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Genesis 19:37

Elder. She first proposes: she is not ashamed to call her child Moab, "from father." The younger is rather more modest, and calls her son Ammon, "my people," not born of the Sodomites. Many reasons might be alleged to extenuate, or even to excuse the conduct of Lot and his daughters, as many of the fathers have done. But the Scripture barely leaves it upon record, without either commendation or blame. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:30-38

30-38 See the peril of security. Lot, who kept chaste in Sodom, and was a mourner for the wickedness of the place, and a witness against it, when in the mountain, alone, and, as he thought, out of the way of temptation, is shamefully overtaken. Let him that thinks he stands high, and stands firm, take heed lest he fall. See the peril of drunkenness; it is not only a great sin itself, but lets in many sins, which bring a lasting wound and dishonour. Many a man does that, when he is drunk, which,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 19:30-38

The sin of Lot and His Daughters v. 30. And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar; and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. The terrible catastrophe had completely unnerved Lot, causing him to doubt even the plain promise of the Lord to preserve the city of Zoar for his sake. As soon as possible he left the city and made his home in a cave of the mountains, very likely in what was afterward known as the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 19:1-38

Here the story of the visit of Jehovah and the angels is continued. Here we see the two angels coming to Lot. By this time Lot had attained to a position of eminence in Sodom. The phrase, "sitting in the gate," indicates that. The three Visitors sat and ate with Abraham. The two would hardly enter the dwelling of Lot. Whereas he was anxious to deliver them from the known wickedness of the citizens, it is evident how he had failed in the life of faith. The man who had attempted to compromise... read more
