Judges 18:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 18:6

4 He said to them, “Thus and so Micah did for me. He has ^ahired me, and I have become his priest.”

5 So they said to him, “Please ^ainquire of ^bGod, that we may know whether the journey on which we go will be prosperous.”

6 And the priest said to them, ^a“Go in peace. The presence of the Lord be with you on your way.”

7 So the five men departed and went to ^aLaish. They saw the people who were there, ^bhow they dwelt safely, in the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure. There were no rulers in the land who might put them to shame for anything. They were far from the ^cSidonians, and they had no ties with anyone.

8 Then the spies came back to their brethren at ^aZorah and Eshtaol, and their brethren said to them, “What is your report?”

9 So they said, ^a“Arise, let us go up against them. For we have seen the land, and indeed it is very good. Would you ^bdo nothing? Do not hesitate to go, and enter to possess the land.

10 When you go, you will come to a ^asecure people and a large land. For God has given it into your hands, ^ba place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth.”

11 And six hundred men of the family of the Danites went from there, from Zorah and Eshtaol, armed with weapons of war.

12 Then they went up and encamped in ^aKirjath Jearim in Judah. (Therefore they call that place ^bMahaneh Dan to this day. There it is, west of Kirjath Jearim.)
