SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:8
Y al quinto día levantándose de mañana para irse, le dijo el padre de la joven: Conforta ahora tu corazón. Y habiendo comido ambos juntos, se detuvieron hasta que ya declinaba el día.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 19:8
Verse 8. And they tarried until afternoon] Merely that they might avoid the heat of the day, which would have been very inconvenient in travelling.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. And he rose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart , etc.] With a full intention to take his leave of his father, and be gone: and the damsel’s father said, comfort thine heart, I pray thee ; with a meal’s meat, with a breakfast, before he set out on his journey, that he might be heartier and stronger for it: and they tarried until afternoon ; or “until the decline of the day” f394 , when the sun had passed the meridian, and was declining, as it immediately does when noon is past: and they did eat both of them ; the man stayed and took a dinner with his father-in-law; and though no mention is made of the concubine, neither in this, nor in the other instances, no doubt she ate with 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 __________________________________________________________________
