EXPLANATION

Verse 10. Slew him, perhaps by the hand of evil angels, Psalms 77:49. Asmodeus, and so forth who slew the libidinous husbands of Sara. Tobit 3:7. Menochius.—If an exemplary vengeance were oftener taken of the perpetrators of such a detestable thing, this abominable and unnatural vice would sooner perhaps be eradicated. Bible.
