Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Played the whore, etc. Perhaps the phrase only means that she revolted from him and left him. Her returning to her father's house, and his anxiety to make up the quarrel, both discourage taking the phrase in its worst sense. Four whole months. Literally, days, four months; meaning either a year and four months, as in 1 Samuel 27:7, where, however, the and is expressed; or days (i.e. many days), viz., four months. For the use of days for a year see Exodus 13:10; Judges 17:10, etc.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Four whole months.--Literally, days, four months, which some interpret to mean "a year (see Note on Judges 17:10) and four months." The incident has, however, little bearing on the general story.
