George Leo Haydock, on Judg 19:26

“But the woman, at the dawning of the day, came to the door of the house where her lord lodged, and there fell down.”

“Lord. So wives styled their husbands, 1 Peter iii. 5. — Down dead through fatigue, (Menochius) shame, and grief. (Josephus) — She had not power to knock. (Calmet) — Though the former misconduct of this unhappy woman might call for punishment, yet, after she was reconciled to her husband, we cannot but think he used her ill, though he acted through a sort of constraint and ignorance. (Haydock) — Instances of women dying under a similar treatment, may be found in Herodotus, and in the Russian and Turkish historians. (Calmet)”
