| Geneva Study Bible And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah. Wesley's Notes 20:29 Liers in wait - Though they were assured of the success, by a particular promise, yet they do not neglect the use of means; as well knowing that the certainty of God's promises doth not excuse, but rather require man's diligent use of all fit means for the accomplishment of them. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary Jud 20:29-48. They Destroy All the Benjamites, Except Six Hundred. 29-48. And Israel set liers-in-wait round about Gibeah-A plan was formed of taking that city by stratagem, similar to that employed in the capture of Ai [Jos 8:9]. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 17:7-13 Micah thought it was a sign of God's favour to him and his images, that a Levite should come to his door. Thus those who please themselves with their own delusions, if Providence unexpectedly bring any thing to their hands that further them in their evil way, are apt from thence to think that God is pleased with them. |
