This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_19:11 [And] when they [were] by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
Ver. 11. Come, I pray thee, and let us turn, &c.] This was not the worst counsel that ever the Levite had given him.
“ Saepe etiam est holitor valde opportuna locutus. ”
