JUDGES—NOTE ON Judges 19:10 Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). Jerusalem was then in the hands of the Jebusites and therefore is referred to as a city of foreigners (see note on 1:8). Gibeah was about 4 miles (6 km) north of Jerusalem. The Levite considered Gibeah a safer place to spend the night than Jerusalem, because Gibeah was a Benjaminite city (Judges 19:14, Judges 19:16).
