Jdg 21:9 For the people were numbered, and, behold, [there were] none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there.
Ver. 9. For the people were numbered, and, behold, &c.] God will one day send out summonses for sleepers; he will make strict inquisition for such as affect an indifferency and neutrality in religion, as halt between two, as are neither hot nor cold, as redeem their peace with the loss of truth. The Lord that could not endure miscellane-seed nor linsey-woolsey in Israel, can less endure that his people should be as a "speckled bird," {Jer 12:9} here of one colour, and there of another; or as a doughy baked cake. {Hos 7:4-8} None so loathsome to him, as those that are of a Laodicean temper.

For the people were numbered,.... To know who did come up, and who did not, and particularly to know whether the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead did or not, against whom an information was brought:
and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there; for as yet none that came had returned home; all came to Shiloh first, to pay their devotion to the Lord; and as none were found among the living, it did not appear they were among the slain; and very probably the muster roll was taken before they went to battle, and they were not on that.

(9) For the people were numbered.—It is doubtful whether this implies another numbering besides that at Mizpeh (Jdg_20:1-17). In the tale which had then been made up, the absence of inhabitants of a single town might for the present escape notice. It would be sufficient now merely to refer to the lists then made (Jdg_20:1-17).
