Judges 18:14

Compare all

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.)

13 And they passed from there to the mountains of Ephraim, and came to ^athe house of Micah.

14 ^aThen the five men who had gone to spy out the country of Laish answered and said to their brethren, “Do you know that ^bthere are in these houses an ephod, household idols, a carved image, and a molded image? Now therefore, consider what you should do.”

15 So they turned aside there, and came to the house of the young Levite man—to the house of Micah—and greeted him.

16 The ^asix hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.

Judges 18:1-31

The Danites seek to enlarge their inheritance, and rob Micah.

- The Danites determined to take Micah's gods with them. Oh the folly of these Danites! How could they imagine those gods should protect them, that could not keep themselves from being stolen! To take them for their own use, was a double crime; it showed they neither feared God, nor regarded man, but were lost both to godliness and honesty. What a folly was it for Micah to call those his gods, which he had made, when He only is to be worshipped by us as God, that made us! That is put in God's place, which we are concerned about, as if our all were bound up in it. If people will walk in the name of their false gods, much more should we love and serve the true God!
