This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_18:9 And they said unto him, Where [is] Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Ver. 9. Behold, in the tent.] David compares a good woman to the vines upon the walls of the house, because she cleaveth to her house. Others to a snail, that carrieth her house on her back. St Paul reckons it for a virtue in a woman to "keep at home"; {Tit_2:5} and Solomon for a sign of a lewd housewife, that "her feet abide not in her house". {Pro_7:11} Among the Grecians, the bride was carried through the streets in a chariot, the axle spokes was burnt, to signify that she must keep home.
