Reciprocal: Judges 19:5 - Comfort

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he rose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart,.... With a full intention to take his leave of his father, and be gone:

and the damsel's father said, comfort thine heart, I pray thee; with a meal's meat, with a breakfast, before he set out on his journey, that he might be heartier and stronger for it:

and they tarried until afternoon; or "until the decline of the day" m, when the sun had passed the meridian, and was declining, as it immediately does when noon is past:

and they did eat both of them; the man stayed and took a dinner with his father-in-law; and though no mention is made of the concubine, neither in this, nor in the other instances, no doubt she ate with them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 19:8. And they tarried until afternoon — Merely that they might avoid the heat of the day, which would have been very inconvenient in travelling.
