SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:11
Y estando ya junto a Jebús, el día había declinado mucho; y dijo el criado a su señor: Ven ahora, y vámonos a esta ciudad de los jebuseos, para que tengamos en ella la noche.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 19:11
Verse 11. When they were by Jebus] This was Jerusalem, in which, though after the death of Josh. it appears to have been partly conquered by the tribe of Judah, yet the Jebusites kept the strong hold of Zion till the days of David, by whom they were finally expelled. See the note on chap. i. 8.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. And when they were by Jebus the day was far spent , etc.] Or “was gone down very much” f398 , the sun was going down apace, and near setting: and the servant said unto his master, come, I pray thee : he proposed it to him in a submissive manner, and might use some entreaty for his master’s good and safety: and let us turn in unto this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it ; for though that part of the city which belonged to the tribe of Judah was taken by them after the death of Joshua, yet that which belonged to the tribe of Benjamin, part of it was still possessed by the Jebusites, whom the Benjamites could not expel, ( Judges 1:21) and Ben Gersom thinks, that this affair of this Levite, and his concubine, was before the men of Judah fought against it, and took it; which not unlikely, seeing it is called here a city of the Jebusites, and because the Levite objected going into it on that account; whereas there would not have been much in his objection, if one part or it was in the session of the men of Judah, and the other in the hands of the tribe of Benjamin, though they had some Jebusites dwelling among them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The wickedness of the men of Gibeah. --The three remaining chapters of this book contain a very sad histor of the wickedness of the men of Gibeah, in Benjamin. The righteous Lor permits sinners to execute just vengeance on one another, and if the scene here described is horrible, what will the discoveries of the da of judgment be! Let each of us consider how to escape from the wrath to come, how to mortify the sins of our own hearts, to resist Satan' temptations, and to avoid the pollutions there are in the world __________________________________________________________________
