What does Judges 19:22 mean?
Now as they were making their hearts merry
With a glass of wine after supper, and conversing together in a
cheerful manner about their country and friends:
behold, the men of the city, certain sons of
Belial;
very wicked, lawless, ungovernable, worthless, and unprofitable
creatures, men under the influence of Satan, and their own lusts:
beset the house round about:
that none might escape out of it, especially the Levite, his wife
and servant:
and beat at the door;
to get entrance, either by those within opening to them, or by
breaking it open:
and spake to the master of the house, the old
man;
who, upon this noise and clamour made, came to the door, to
inquire what was the meaning of all this: to whom they replied,
saying,
bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may
know him;
not what manner of person he was, of what country and profession,
whither he was going, and what business he had here; but that
they might have carnal knowledge of him in an unnatural way, or
commit that sin with him which is commonly called sodomy; and the
men of Sodom expressed their lust by the same word, ( Genesis 19:5
) .
