Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 19:20

‘ And the old man said, “peace be to you. However, let all your wants lie on me. Only do not lodge in the square ” “Peace be to you.” A regular polite greeting between two people, denoting acceptance, still regularly offered today (Genesis 43:23; Judges 6:23; 1 Samuel 25:6; Daniel 10:19). “However, let all your wants lie on me. Only do not lodge in the square.” He offered the kind of hospitality that would be expected, except from the very poor who possibly would not be able to provide it. It... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 19:1-30

Judges 19-21. In the story of the outrage of Gibeah, there is a combination of history and midrash. Hosea ( Judges 9:9) makes allusion to the “ days of Gibeah,” as a time of notorious moral depravity in Israel, and the events which he had in view doubtless form the basis of the present chapter. But when Israel is called “ the congregation” ( Judges 20:18), when the “ elders of the congregation” are introduced, and when the tribes come automatically together “ as one man” ( Judges 20:1; Judges... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Judges 19:1-30

A TRAGIC CHAPTER IN ISRAEL’S HISTORY(Judges 19:1-30.)HOMILETICSThis chapter contains the history of an unmitigated abomination. Perhaps the best comment upon it is to pass it by. But nothing in human life does God pass by. It seems to be needed, that there should be a few specimens recorded of the darkest phases of human depravity, if for no other reason, than to show to what depths in the mire of sin even professed worshippers of the true God may sink, when given up to the lusts of their own... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Judges 19:1-30

Chapter 19[Now again, in chapter nineteen it says,] It came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel ( Judges 19:1 ),Now no king in Israel. You see Israel was intended by God to be a theocracy. God wanted to be the king. He wanted the people to submit to His rules, to His reign, but the declaration "there was no king in Israel" meant that the people were not submitting to God. Thus there was confusion, everybody was doing what he felt was right and there was great confusion.... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Judges 19:1-30

Judges 19:1 . In those days, while Phinehas was highpriest, and in the first generation after Joshua’s death. He is called her husband, Judges 19:3; and it was adultery for a woman so espoused to connect herself with another man. Judges 19:2 . His concubine played the whore. The LXX read, “was angry with him.” The Chaldaic reads, “despised him.” Judges 19:11 . When they were by Jebus; that is, Jerusalem; shalom was added to Jebus, it would seem, in memory of its peace. Joshua had... read more

Judges 19:1-30Whither goest thou?and whence comest thou? The past and the futureThese two questions were usually proposed of old to the traveller, by the inhabitants of any district through which he might be passing; nor were they unnatural in a state of society wherein the infrequency of journeying must have rendered the appearance of a stranger a matter of curiosity, and where, owing to the want of houses of public entertainment, hospitality was an important and necessary duty. What are we... read more

Only lodge not in the street. ] He maketh it his suit to the Levite that he may lodge him, &c. This is to pursue hospitality.
