Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
back to:
Judges
Book: Judges
Chapter: 20
Overview:
The
Tribe of
Benjamin nearly extirpated.
- The Israelites' abhorrence of the crime committed at
Gibeah,
and their resolution to punish the criminals, were right; but
they formed their resolves with too much haste and
self-confidence. The eternal ruin of souls will be worse, and
more fearful, than these desolations of a
Tribe.
