Commentary on Judges 19:5

Theological / Devotional

Comfort thine heart. The marginal reading “strengthen thine heart” is probably the more correct. The word here translated “comfort” means “to prop,” “to uphold,” “to support,” and in connection with “heart” may mean “to refresh [the body] with food.”

Morsel. This of course would be a polite way of saying it. It is likely that a feast was prepared.
