Contextual Overview

1 En in dié dae was daar geen koning in Israel nie. En 'n Levitiese man het as vreemdeling vertoef agter in die gebergte van Efraim; en hy het vir hom 'n vrou, 'n byvrou, geneem uit Betlehem-Juda. 2 Maar sy byvrou het by hom gehoereer en van hom weggegaan na haar vader se huis, na Betlehem-Juda; en sy was daar vier maande lank. 3 Daarop maak haar man klaar en gaan haar agterna om na haar hart te spreek en haar terug te bring; sy dienaar was by hom met 'n paar esels. En toe sy hom in die huis van haar vader bring en die vader van die jong vrou hom sien, was hy bly om hom te ontmoet. 4 En sy skoonvader, die vader van die jong vrou, het hom teruggehou, sodat hy drie dae by hom gebly het; en hulle het geëet en gedrink en die nag daar oorgebly. 5 Maar terwyl hulle op die vierde dag vroeg in die môre opstaan en hy klaarmaak om weg te gaan, sê die vader van die jong vrou vir sy skoonseun: Versterk jou hart met 'n stukkie brood, en daarna kan julle weggaan. 6 En hulle het gebly, en hulle twee het saam geëet en gedrink. Daarop sê die vader van die jong vrou aan die man: Bly tog asseblief die nag oor, en laat jou hart vrolik wees. 7 Toe die man egter klaarmaak om weg te gaan, het sy skoonvader by hom aangedring, sodat hy weer die nag daar oorgebly het. 8 Terwyl hy op die vyfde dag vroeg in die môre klaarmaak om weg te gaan, sê die vader van die jong vrou: Versterk jou hart tog, en vertoef julle tot agtermiddag. En hulle twee het geëet. 9 Maar toe die man klaarmaak om weg te gaan, hy en sy byvrou en sy dienaar, sê sy skoonvader, die vader van die jong vrou, vir hom: Kyk, die son sak, dit wil aand word; bly julle maar die nag oor: kyk, dit is al laat, bly die nag hier oor, en laat jou hart vrolik wees; dan kan julle môre vroeg klaarmaak vir julle reis en na jou tente toe gaan. 10 Maar die man wou nie die nag oorbly nie en het klaargemaak en weggetrek en gekom tot teenoor Jebus--dit is Jerusalem--met 'n paar opgesaalde esels by hom; ook sy byvrou was by hom.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said to his servant, come, and let us draw near,.... And get on as fast as we can:

to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah; which were both in the tribe of Benjamin, and he left it to his servant to go to either, to that which was most convenient, because of the time of the day, it being near sun setting; now, as before observed, Gibeah was not quite four miles from Jerusalem; whereas, according to Jerom s, Ramah was six miles, and therefore we find they took up at Gibeah, as being nearest of these two places; :- :- :-

s De loc. Heb. fol. 94. B.
