And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down [at] the door of the house, and her hands [were] upon the threshold.
Ver. 27. The woman his concubine was fallen down.] As Judges 19:26. Like as she sinned, so she suffered: Per quod quis peccat, &c. See Hebrews 13:4. And let the guilty that go yet unpunished make an end of all in God's privy chamber of mercy by repentance, that so his open judicial proceeding in court may be stopped.
