Ambrose of Milan, on Judg 19:1
Ambrose of Milan · A.D. 339–397
Judg 19:1 · Douay-Rheims
“There was a certain Levite, who dwelt on the side of mount Ephraim, who took a wife of Bethlehem Juda:”
On this verse:
“A Levite, more courageous than wealthy, lived in the region of Mount Ephrem, for his tribe was allotted a landed possession far removed in place of the right of inheritance. He took a wife from the tribe of Bethlehem of Judah. While they felt the first attraction of their love deeply and equally, he continued to burn with unbounded desire for his wife. Yet her ways were different. His passion for her intensified until he inwardly seethed with desire. Yet, because there was a difference in their ages, and because he felt—either because she seemed to love him less or due to the violence of his pain—that she didn't consider him her equal, he used to criticize her. Frequently quarreling followed, and the offended wife gave back the keys of the house and went home.”
