Judges 19:15

<< Judges 19:15 >>

Judges 19:15 They turned aside there in order to enter and lodge in Gibeah. When they entered, they sat down in the open square of the city, for no one took them into his house to spend the night. (NASB ©1995)

Judges 19:14 So they passed along and went their way, and the sun set on them near Gibeah which belongs to Benjamin.

Judges 19:16 Then behold, an old man was coming out of the field from his work at evening. Now the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he was staying in Gibeah, but the men of the place were Benjamites. (NASB ©1995)

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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.

no man. There was probably no inn, or house of public entertainment in this place; and therefore they could not gave a lodging unless furnished by mere hospitality. But these Benjamites seem to have added to their other vices, avarice and inhospitality, like the inhabitants of Akoura in mount Lebanon, mentioned by Burckhardt Jud 19:18 Ge 18:2-8 19:2,3 Mt 25:35,43 Heb 13:2
