ExplanationCommentary
Verse 9. Gabaa. Septuagint “high places;” or he alludes to the brutality of the citizens. Judges 20:13.—Stood. Those of Gabaa were speedily punished by the other tribes. Now, all are perverse. At that time one tribe was guilty, and yet some were spared; but all Israel shall be now led into captivity. Calmet.—From the time that Dan adored Micha’s idol, (Judith 18:14) the evil has spread among the rest of the tribes, which did not punish this transgression. Hence all shall at last suffer.
