Ambrose of Milan, on Judg 19:11

Ambrose of Milan · A.D. 339–397
Judg 19:11 · Douay-Rheims
“And now they were come near Jebus, and the day was far spent: and the servant said to his master: Come, I beseech thee, let us turn into the city of the Jebusites, and lodge there.”
On this verse:
“When some little progress was made, though night was threatening to come on, and they were close by the town of the Jebusites, on the slave's request that his lord should turn aside there, he refused, because it was not a city of the children of Israel. He meant to get as far as Gibeah, which was inhabited by the people of the tribe of Benjamin.”
