"And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And he said to his servant, come, and let us draw near,.... And get on as fast as we can: to one of these places to lodge all night, in
Gibeah, or in Ramah; which were both in the tribe of Benjamin, and he left it to his servant to go to either, to that which was most convenient, because of the time of the day, it being near sun setting; now, as before observed, Gibeah was not quite four miles from Jerusalem; whereas, according to Jerom (s), Ramah was six miles, and therefore we find they took up at Gibeah, as being nearest of these two places; See Gill on Jos 18:24 , Jos 18:25 , Hos 5:8 . (s) De loc. Heb. fol. 94. B.
