This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_19:3 And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, [and] to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father’s house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
Ver. 3. And her husband arose, and went after her.] Either out of pity to her, or want of her company. She should have sought to him first, as being the peccant party; but she could not bring her heart to it.
“ Fastus inest pulchris, &c. ”
Having his servant with him.] This Levite had one servant. Balaam the false prophet rode with two. {Num_22:22} Oh, let not Christ’s true ministers be slaves to others, servants to themselves.
He rejoiced to meet him.] The father and daughter made no means for reconciliation; but when remission came home to them, none could entertain it more thankfully. The nature of many men is forward to accept, and negligent to sue for; they can spend secret wishes upon that which shall cost them no endeavour.
