SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:15
Y se apartaron del camino para entrar a tener allí la noche en Gabaa; y entrando, se sentaron en la plaza de la ciudad, porque no hubo quien los acogiese en casa para pasar la noche.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 19:15
Verse 15. No man-took them into his house to lodging.] There was probably no inn or house of public entertainment in this place, and therefore they could not have a lodging unless furnished by mere hospitality. To say that there were no inns in those primitive times, is not true; there were such places, though not very frequent. Joseph's brethren found their money in their sacks when they loosed them at an inn, Gen. xlii. 27. The house of Rahab was an inn, Josh. ii. 1. And the woman whose house Samson frequented at Gaza was a hostess, or one who kept a place of public entertainment.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And they turned aside thither to go in and lodge in Gibeah , etc.] Instead of going right forward, and passing by Gibeah, over against which they were, they turned out of their road, and went into the city to seek a lodging in it: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city ; to see whether any person would invite him into any of their houses, as was usual in those hospitable times and countries, and where there were few inns for the entertainment of travellers and strangers, or none at all, and especially in cities; if any where, they were upon the public road: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging ; the spirit of hospitality being greatly declined, and even gone from among them; or as some think, those that had such a spirit, and were willing to receive strangers, were afraid, because of their wicked neighbours, who would beset their houses to abuse strangers, as the sequel of this history shows.
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 __________________________________________________________________
