Enticers to idolatry6. however near to oneself 9. are to be stoned to death 12. Idolatrous cities are not to be spared (12) If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities.--The only case of this kind is the case of Gibeah. We may fairly assume the abominations done there to have been connected with idolatry, from the allusions in Hosea 9:9; Hosea 10:9. But the outrage rather than the idolatry seems to have excited the indignation of Israel (see Judges 20, 21). It is noticeable that in the remonstrance with the Benjamites at Gibeah--(Judges 20:13): "Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel"--there seems to be an allusion to the language of this chapter in Deuteronomy 13:5; Deuteronomy 13:11.Verses 12-18. - A third ease supposed is that of the inhabitants of a city being seduced by wicked men into idolatry.

Verse 12. - Hear in one of thy cities. The Hebrew phrase, "to hear in" (שָׁמַע בְּ). has sometimes the meaning of to overhear, as in Genesis 27:5; 1 Samuel 17:28; Job 15:8; sometimes it means simply to hear, as in 2 Samuel 19:36 [35]; in Job 26:14, it has the force of to hear of or concerning, though some think this questionable. This latter is apparently the meaning here: If thou hear concerning any of thy cities, etc. Baying. This introduces what is heard. Parallel Commentaries ...
