Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
back to:
Judges
Book: Judges
Chapter: 19
Overview:
The wickedness of the men of
Gibeah.
- The three remaining chapters of this
Book contain a very sad
history of the wickedness of the men of
Gibeah, in
Benjamin. The
righteous
Lord permits sinners to execute just vengeance
On one
another, and if the scene here described is horrible, what will
the discoveries of the
Day 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's temptations, and
to avoid the pollutions there are in the world.
