This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_19:15 And they turned aside thither, to go in [and] to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for [there was] no man that took them into his house to lodging.
Ver. 15. He sat him down in a street of the city.] There were not inns and houses of receipt for strangers in those days, as are now: but if no man took them in, they lay in the streets. {Gen_19:2}
For there was no man that took them into his house.] This their inhospitality and inhumanity was a forerunner of their destruction. The Jews at this day are very hospitable to their own. So were the ancient Protestants the Waldenses. And surely if God had been in any of these Benjamites’ houses, his servant had not been excluded.
