Judges 18:21
Compare all
19 And they said to him, “Be quiet, aput your hand over your mouth, and come with us; bbe a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest to the household of one man, or that you be a priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?”  
20 So the priest’s heart was glad; and he took the ephod, the household idols, and the carved image, and took his place among the people.
21 Then they turned and departed, and put the little ones, the livestock, and the goods in front of them.
22 When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah’s house gathered together and overtook the children of Dan.
23 And they called out to the children of Dan. So they turned around and said to Micah, a“What ails you, that you have gathered such a company?”

Judges 18:21

The little ones and the cattle , etc. - These men were so confident of success that they removed their whole families, household goods, cattle, and all.

And the carriage - kebudah , their substance, precious things, or valuables; omne quod erat pretiosum , Vulgate: or rather the luggage or baggage; what Caesar calls in his commentaries impedimenta; and what the Septuagint here translate , weight or baggage. We are not to suppose that any wheel carriage is meant.
