30 And it hath come to pass, every one who seeth hath said, 'There hath not been—yea, there hath not been seen like this, from the day of the coming up of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt till this day; set your 'heart' upon it, take counsel, and speak.'
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 19:30
Chapter Contents
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.
