Judges19:15
15 And they turned aside thither to go in, and to lodg in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sate him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging .
Though they were soft and effeminate in other respects, yet they were hard-hearted towards Strangers or indigent persons. Either there were no publick Houses to receive and entertain Travellers, as may be gathered from Gen. 28. and 42. and 45. and Ios. 9. &c. or, if there were such an one here, they might perceive it to be a very wicked House, as being in so lewd a place, and therefore might decline it, and expect that some private person would exercise Hospitality to them, as persons of any worth used to do, as Gen. 18. 1, 2, 3, 4. and 19. 1, 2. Heb. 13. 2.
