ExplanationCommentary
Verse 10. Jebus was about six short miles from Bethlehem, and as many from Gabaa. It had not yet fallen into the hands of Juda ( Calmet.) and Benjamin, ( Bible.) or they had been expelled again, so that the old inhabitants held possession of it at this time, ( Calmet.) as they did of the citadel till the reign of David. See Calmet. 1:6. 21. Bible.—Concubine. She was his lawful wife: but even lawful wives are frequently in Scripture called concubines. See above, chap. 8:31. Challoner.—ver. 2.
