Judges 18:1-31

In those days
<03117>

[there was] no king
<04428>

in Israel
<03478>_:

and in those days
<03117>

the tribe
<07626>

of the Danites
<01839>

sought
<01245> (8764)

them an inheritance
<05159>

to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_;

for unto that day
<03117>

[all their] inheritance
<05159>

had not fallen
<05307> (8804)

unto them among
<08432>

the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_.

And the children
<01121>

of Dan
<01835>

sent
<07971> (8799)

of their family
<04940>

five
<02568>

men
<0582>

from their coasts
<07098>_,

men
<01121>

of valour
<02428>_,

from Zorah
<06881>_,

and from Eshtaol
<0847>_,

to spy
<07270> (8763)

out the land
<0776>_,

and to search
<02713> (8800)

it; and they said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

search
<02713> (8798)

the land
<0776>_:

who when they came
<0935> (8799)

to mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

to the house
<01004>

of Micah
<04318>_,

they lodged
<03885> (8799)

there. {men of: Heb. sons of}

When they [were] by the house
<01004>

of Micah
<04318>_,

they knew
<05234> (8689)

the voice
<06963>

of the young man
<05288>

the Levite
<03881>_:

and they turned in
<05493> (8799)

thither, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Who brought
<0935> (8689)

thee hither
<01988>_?

and what makest
<06213> (8802)

thou in this [place]? and what hast thou here?

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Thus
<02090>

and thus
<02090>

dealeth
<06213> (8804)

Micah
<04318>

with me, and hath hired
<07936> (8799)

me, and I am his priest
<03548>_.

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Ask counsel
<07592> (8798)_,

we pray thee, of God
<0430>_,

that we may know
<03045> (8799)

whether our way
<01870>

which we go
<01980> (8802)

shall be prosperous
<06743> (8686)_.

And the priest
<03548>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Go
<03212> (8798)

in peace
<07965>_:

before
<05227>

the LORD
<03068>

[is] your way
<01870>

wherein ye go
<03212> (8799)_.

Then the five
<02568>

men
<0582>

departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Laish
<03919>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the people
<05971>

that [were] therein
<07130>_,

how they dwelt
<03427> (8802)

careless
<0983>_,

after the manner
<04941>

of the Zidonians
<06722>_,

quiet
<08252> (8802)

and secure
<0982> (8802)_;

and [there was] no magistrate
<03423> (8802) <06114>

in the land
<0776>_,

that might put [them] to shame
<03637> (8688)

in [any] thing
<01697>_;

and they [were] far
<07350>

from the Zidonians
<06722>_,

and had no business
<01697>

with [any] man
<0120>_.

{Laish: also called, Leshem} {magistrate: Heb. possessor, or, heir of restraints}

And they came
<0935> (8799)

unto their brethren
<0251>

to Zorah
<06881>

and Eshtaol
<0847>_:

and their brethren
<0251>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What [say] ye?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

that we may go up
<05927> (8799)

against them: for we have seen
<07200> (8804)

the land
<0776>_,

and, behold, it [is] very
<03966>

good
<02896>_:

and [are] ye still
<02814> (8688)_?

be not slothful
<06101> (8735)

to go
<03212> (8800)_,

[and] to enter
<0935> (8800)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

the land
<0776>_.

When ye go
<0935> (8800)_,

ye shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto a people
<05971>

secure
<0982> (8802)_,

and to a large
<07342>

land
<0776>_:

for God
<0430>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

it into your hands
<03027>_;

a place
<04725>

where [there is] no want
<04270>

of any thing
<01697>

that [is] in the earth
<0776>_.

And there went
<05265> (8799)

from thence of the family
<04940>

of the Danites
<01839>_,

out of Zorah
<06881>

and out of Eshtaol
<0847>_,

six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

appointed
<02296> (8803)

with weapons
<03627>

of war
<04421>_.

{appointed: Heb. girded}

And they went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in Kirjathjearim
<07157>_,

in Judah
<03063>_:

wherefore they called
<07121> (8804)

that place
<04725>

Mahanehdan
<04265>

unto this day
<03117>_:

behold, [it is] behind
<0310>

Kirjathjearim
<07157>_.

And they passed
<05674> (8799)

thence unto mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

unto the house
<01004>

of Micah
<04318>_.

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

the five
<02568>

men
<0582>

that went
<01980> (8802)

to spy out
<07270> (8763)

the country
<0776>

of Laish
<03919>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto their brethren
<0251>_,

Do ye know
<03045> (8804)

that there is
<03426>

in these houses
<01004>

an ephod
<0646>_,

and teraphim
<08655>_,

and a graven image
<06459>_,

and a molten image
<04541>_?

now therefore consider
<03045> (8798)

what ye have to do
<06213> (8799)_.

And they turned
<05493> (8799)

thitherward, and came
<0935> (8799)

to the house
<01004>

of the young man
<05288>

the Levite
<03881>_,

[even] unto the house
<01004>

of Micah
<04318>_,

and saluted
<07592> (8799) <07965>

him. {saluted...: Heb. asked him of peace}

And the six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

appointed
<02296> (8803)

with their weapons
<03627>

of war
<04421>_,

which [were] of the children
<01121>

of Dan
<01835>_,

stood
<05324> (8737)

by the entering
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>_.

And the five
<02568>

men
<0582>

that went
<01980> (8802)

to spy out
<07270> (8763)

the land
<0776>

went up
<05927> (8799)_,

[and] came in
<0935> (8804)

thither, [and] took
<03947> (8804)

the graven image
<06459>_,

and the ephod
<0646>_,

and the teraphim
<08655>_,

and the molten image
<04541>_:

and the priest
<03548>

stood
<05324> (8737)

in the entering
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>

with the six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

[that were] appointed
<02296> (8803)

with weapons
<03627>

of war
<04421>_.

And these went
<0935> (8804)

into Micah's
<04318>

house
<01004>_,

and fetched
<03947> (8799)

the carved image
<06459>_,

the ephod
<0646>_,

and the teraphim
<08655>_,

and the molten image
<04541>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the priest
<03548>

unto them, What do
<06213> (8802)

ye?

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Hold thy peace
<02790> (8685)_,

lay
<07760> (8798)

thine hand
<03027>

upon thy mouth
<06310>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

with us, and be to us
<01961> (8800)

a father
<01>

and a priest
<03548>_:

[is it] better
<02896>

for thee to be a priest
<03548>

unto the house
<01004>

of one
<0259>

man
<0376>_,

or that thou be a priest
<03548>

unto a tribe
<07626>

and a family
<04940>

in Israel
<03478>_?

And the priest's
<03548>

heart
<03820>

was glad
<03190> (8799)_,

and he took
<03947> (8799)

the ephod
<0646>_,

and the teraphim
<08655>_,

and the graven image
<06459>_,

and went in
<0935> (8799)

the midst
<07130>

of the people
<05971>_.

So they turned
<06437> (8799)

and departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

the little ones
<02945>

and the cattle
<04735>

and the carriage
<03520>

before
<06440>

them.

[And] when they were a good way
<07368> (8689)

from the house
<01004>

of Micah
<04318>_,

the men
<0582>

that [were] in the houses
<01004>

near to Micah's
<04318>

house
<01004>

were gathered together
<02199> (8738)_,

and overtook
<01692> (8686)

the children
<01121>

of Dan
<01835>_.

And they cried
<07121> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Dan
<01835>_.

And they turned
<05437> (8686)

their faces
<06440>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto Micah
<04318>_,

What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company
<02199> (8738)_?

{comest...: Heb. art gathered together?}

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Ye have taken away
<03947> (8804)

my gods
<0430>

which I made
<06213> (8804)_,

and the priest
<03548>_,

and ye are gone away
<03212> (8799)_:

and what have I more? and what [is] this [that] ye say
<0559> (8799)

unto me, What aileth thee?

And the children
<01121>

of Dan
<01835>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Let not thy voice
<06963>

be heard
<08085> (8686)

among us, lest angry
<04751> <05315>

fellows
<0582>

run
<06293> (8799)

upon thee, and thou lose
<0622> (8804)

thy life
<05315>_,

with the lives
<05315>

of thy household
<01004>_.

{angry: Heb. bitter of soul}

And the children
<01121>

of Dan
<01835>

went
<03212> (8799)

their way
<01870>_:

and when Micah
<04318>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that they [were] too strong
<02389>

for him, he turned
<06437> (8799)

and went back
<07725> (8799)

unto his house
<01004>_.

And they took
<03947> (8804)

[the things] which Micah
<04318>

had made
<06213> (8804)_,

and the priest
<03548>

which he had, and came
<0935> (8799)

unto Laish
<03919>_,

unto a people
<05971>

[that were] at quiet
<08252> (8802)

and secure
<0982> (8802)_:

and they smote
<05221> (8686)

them with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_,

and burnt
<08313> (8804)

the city
<05892>

with fire
<0784>_.

And [there was] no deliverer
<05337> (8688)_,

because it [was] far
<07350>

from Zidon
<06721>_,

and they had no business
<01697>

with [any] man
<0120>_;

and it was in the valley
<06010>

that [lieth] by Bethrehob
<01050>_.

And they built
<01129> (8799)

a city
<05892>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

therein.

And they called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

Dan
<01835>_,

after the name
<08034>

of Dan
<01835>

their father
<01>_,

who was born
<03205> (8795)

unto Israel
<03478>_:

howbeit
<0199>

the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

[was] Laish
<03919>

at the first
<07223>_.

And the children
<01121>

of Dan
<01835>

set up
<06965> (8686)

the graven image
<06459>_:

and Jonathan
<03083>_,

the son
<01121>

of Gershom
<01647>_,

the son
<01121>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

he and his sons
<01121>

were priests
<03548>

to the tribe
<07626>

of Dan
<01839>

until the day
<03117>

of the captivity
<01540> (8800)

of the land
<0776>_.

And they set them up
<07760> (8799)

Micah's
<04318>

graven image
<06459>_,

which he made
<06213> (8804)_,

all the time
<03117>

that the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>

was in Shiloh
<07887>_.
