Judges 19:12
Compare all
10 However, the man was not willing to spend that night; so he rose and departed, and came opposite aJebus (that is, Jerusalem). With him were the two saddled donkeys; his concubine was also with him.  
11 They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, “Come, please, and let us turn aside into this city aof the Jebusites and lodge in it.”  
12 But his master said to him, “We will not turn aside here into a city of foreigners, who are not of the children of Israel; we will go on ato Gibeah.”  
13 So he said to his servant, “Come, let us draw near to one of these places, and spend the night in Gibeah or in aRamah.”  
14 And they passed by and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.

Judges 19:12

A stranger - That is, of a strange nation: which the Canaanites possess; for though the city Jerusalem had been taken by Caleb, Judges 1:8, yet the strong fort of Zion was still in their hands, whence it is likely they did much molest, and afterwards by God's permission, drive out the Israelites who dwelt there.
