Then at daybreak the woman arrived and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until daylight.

KJV

Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light.

Commentary

Then came the woman in the dawning of the day,.... When those wicked wretches who had abused her had left her, having had her from place to place, at some distan ce from the house out of which she was put, and to which she got again, as well as she could: and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was; her husband, so called, not because she had been his servant, but because she was his wife; and at the door of the old man's house, where he was, which she knew, and had found out by one means or another; she fell down, either purposely for her ease, and to lie and wait there, until the time of opening the door in the morning; or rather through weakness, not being able to stand, nor so much as to knock at the door to get admittance: and there she lay till it was light; broad daylight.
