VER. 9.
O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah.
O Israel, thou hast sinned from the daies of Gibeah.
O ISRAEL, I am speaking this to you, it merely concerns you, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah, you think there is no great matter in your sin why there should be these dreadful threatenings, that you should come to this desperate condition; Why (say the men of Israel) what means the Prophet to be so terrible in his threatenings? pray what's our sin? Yes, you have sinned, as in the days of Gibeah. 1From the days of Gibeah, so it is in your Books, or it may be read, Beyond the days of Gibeah, or more than in them, as Ezek. 16. 52. From the days of Gibeah; From what time was that? You may read the story of Gibeah if you read the 19. and 20. of Judges, and their sin. I shall not need to spend much time now in opening what Gibeah was, or the sin of Gibeah was, because that in the 9. Chapter of this Prophecy, and the 9. Verse, there I met with those words; that, they had corrupted themselves as in ⟨p. 418⟩the days of Gibeah. But it is not only the 19. and 20. Chapters where we have the story of that horrible wickedness of the abusing of the Levites Concubine, but likewise that that we have in the 18. touching their Idolatry that there was among the people, there was Micahs Idol, so that the Prophet hath reference to the 18, 19, & 20. Chapters of the Book of Judges. 2
