Judges 19:13-15 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Probably in those days there were no public inns. But yet might not a Levite, and no doubt his dress indicated the order to which he belonged, have reasonably expected accommodation from every Israelite? The Lord had expressly pointed out that his Levites should have no inheritance with their brethren, because the Lord himself was their portion. But then this implied how much every true lover of the Lord would love a Levite! Joshua 13:33. But is there not in all this, somewhat that pointed to the Prince of Levites? Did not this intimate that Jesus was to be the inheritance of all his tribes? Dearest Lord! let it never be said of me, or any of thine, I was a stranger and ye took me not in. Matthew 25:43.

Judges 19:13-15

13 And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah.

14 And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.

15 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.
