Matthew Henry Complete Commentary
on the Whole Bible
Current Chapter:
Chapter 18
In this tribe was Gibeon,
where the altar was in the beginning of Solomon's time,
2 Chronicles 1:3.
Gibeah likewise, that infamous place where the Levite's concubine was
abused. Mizpeh, and near it Samuel's Ebenezer, and also Anathoth,
Jeremiah's city, were in this tribe, as was the northern part of
Jerusalem. Paul was the honour of this tribe
(Romans 11:1,Php+3:5);
but where his land lay we know not: he sought the better country.
