And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.
The sacred historian, as if to call our attention more immediately to this person, is careful to tell us that he was only a sojourner in Gibeah. Is not this designed to remind us of Him, who when he came on earth to seek and save that which was lost was only a sojourner through our world?
