In those daysH3117 there was no kingH4428 in IsraelH3478: and in those daysH3117 the tribeH7626 of the DanitesH1839 soughtH1245 them an inheritanceH5159 to dwell inH3427; for unto that dayH3117 all their inheritanceH5159 had not fallenH5307 unto them amongH8432 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
And the childrenH1121 of DanH1835 sentH7971 of their familyH4940 fiveH2568 menH582 from their coastsH7098, menH1121 of valourH2428, from ZorahH6881, and from EshtaolH847, to spyH7270 out the landH776, and to searchH2713 it; and they saidH559 unto them, GoH3212, searchH2713 the landH776: who when they cameH935 to mountH2022 EphraimH669, to the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, they lodgedH3885 there. {men of: Heb. sons of}
When they were by the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, they knewH5234 the voiceH6963 of the young manH5288 the LeviteH3881: and they turned inH5493 thither, and saidH559 unto him, Who broughtH935 thee hitherH1988? and what makestH6213 thou in this place? and what hast thou here?
And he saidH559 unto them, ThusH2090 and thusH2090 dealethH6213 MicahH4318 with me, and hath hiredH7936 me, and I am his priestH3548.
And they saidH559 unto him, Ask counselH7592, we pray thee, of GodH430, that we may knowH3045 whether our wayH1870 which we goH1980 shall be prosperousH6743.
And the priestH3548 saidH559 unto them, GoH3212 in peaceH7965: beforeH5227 the LORDH3068 is your wayH1870 wherein ye goH3212.
Then the fiveH2568 menH582 departedH3212, and cameH935 to LaishH3919, and sawH7200 the peopleH5971 that were thereinH7130, how they dweltH3427 carelessH983, after the mannerH4941 of the ZidoniansH6722, quietH8252 and secureH982; and there was no magistrateH3423+H6114 in the landH776, that might put them to shameH3637 in any thingH1697; and they were farH7350 from the ZidoniansH6722, and had no businessH1697 with any manH120. {magistrate: Heb. possessor, or, heir of restraint}
And they cameH935 unto their brethrenH251 to ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847: and their brethrenH251 saidH559 unto them, What say ye?
And they saidH559, AriseH6965, that we may go upH5927 against them: for we have seenH7200 the landH776, and, behold, it is veryH3966 goodH2896: and are ye stillH2814? be not slothfulH6101 to goH3212, and to enterH935 to possessH3423 the landH776.
When ye goH935, ye shall comeH935 unto a peopleH5971 secureH982, and to a largeH7342 landH776: for GodH430 hath givenH5414 it into your handsH3027; a placeH4725 where there is no wantH4270 of any thingH1697 that is in the earthH776.
And there wentH5265 from thence of the familyH4940 of the DanitesH1839, out of ZorahH6881 and out of EshtaolH847, sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 appointedH2296 with weaponsH3627 of warH4421. {appointed: Heb. girded}
And they went upH5927, and pitchedH2583 in KirjathjearimH7157, in JudahH3063: wherefore they calledH7121 that placeH4725 MahanehdanH4265 unto this dayH3117: behold, it is behindH310 KirjathjearimH7157.
And they passedH5674 thence unto mountH2022 EphraimH669, and cameH935 unto the houseH1004 of MicahH4318.
Then answeredH6030 the fiveH2568 menH582 that wentH1980 to spy outH7270 the countryH776 of LaishH3919, and saidH559 unto their brethrenH251, Do ye knowH3045 that there isH3426 in these housesH1004 an ephodH646, and teraphimH8655, and a graven imageH6459, and a molten imageH4541? now therefore considerH3045 what ye have to doH6213.
And they turnedH5493 thitherward, and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of the young manH5288 the LeviteH3881, even unto the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, and salutedH7592+H7965 him. {saluted…: Heb. asked him of peace}
And the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 appointedH2296 with their weaponsH3627 of warH4421, which were of the childrenH1121 of DanH1835, stoodH5324 by the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179.
And the fiveH2568 menH582 that wentH1980 to spy outH7270 the landH776 went upH5927, and came inH935 thither, and tookH3947 the graven imageH6459, and the ephodH646, and the teraphimH8655, and the molten imageH4541: and the priestH3548 stoodH5324 in the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179 with the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 that were appointedH2296 with weaponsH3627 of warH4421.
And these wentH935 into Micah'sH4318 houseH1004, and fetchedH3947 the carved imageH6459, the ephodH646, and the teraphimH8655, and the molten imageH4541. Then saidH559 the priestH3548 unto them, What doH6213 ye?
And they saidH559 unto him, Hold thy peaceH2790, layH7760 thine handH3027 upon thy mouthH6310, and goH3212 with us, and be to usH1961 a fatherH1 and a priestH3548: is it betterH2896 for thee to be a priestH3548 unto the houseH1004 of oneH259 manH376, or that thou be a priestH3548 unto a tribeH7626 and a familyH4940 in IsraelH3478?
And the priest'sH3548 heartH3820 was gladH3190, and he tookH3947 the ephodH646, and the teraphimH8655, and the graven imageH6459, and went inH935 the midstH7130 of the peopleH5971.
So they turnedH6437 and departedH3212, and putH7760 the little onesH2945 and the cattleH4735 and the carriageH3520 beforeH6440 them.
And when they were a good wayH7368 from the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, the menH582 that were in the housesH1004 near to Micah'sH4318 houseH1004 were gathered togetherH2199, and overtookH1692 the childrenH1121 of DanH1835.
And they criedH7121 unto the childrenH1121 of DanH1835. And they turnedH5437 their facesH6440, and saidH559 unto MicahH4318, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a companyH2199? {comest…: Heb. art gathered together?}
And he saidH559, Ye have taken awayH3947 my godsH430 which I madeH6213, and the priestH3548, and ye are gone awayH3212: and what have I more? and what is this that ye sayH559 unto me, What aileth thee?
And the childrenH1121 of DanH1835 saidH559 unto him, Let not thy voiceH6963 be heardH8085 among us, lest angryH4751+H5315 fellowsH582 runH6293 upon thee, and thou loseH622 thy lifeH5315, with the livesH5315 of thy householdH1004. {angry: Heb. bitter of soul}
And the childrenH1121 of DanH1835 wentH3212 their wayH1870: and when MicahH4318 sawH7200 that they were too strongH2389 for him, he turnedH6437 and went backH7725 unto his houseH1004.
And they tookH3947 the things which MicahH4318 had madeH6213, and the priestH3548 which he had, and cameH935 unto LaishH3919, unto a peopleH5971 that were at quietH8252 and secureH982: and they smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and burntH8313 the cityH5892 with fireH784.
And there was no delivererH5337, because it was farH7350 from ZidonH6721, and they had no businessH1697 with any manH120; and it was in the valleyH6010 that lieth by BethrehobH1050. And they builtH1129 a cityH5892, and dweltH3427 therein.
And they calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 DanH1835, after the nameH8034 of DanH1835 their fatherH1, who was bornH3205 unto IsraelH3478: howbeitH199 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was LaishH3919 at the firstH7223.
And the childrenH1121 of DanH1835 set upH6965 the graven imageH6459: and JonathanH3083, the sonH1121 of GershomH1647, the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519, he and his sonsH1121 were priestsH3548 to the tribeH7626 of DanH1839 until the dayH3117 of the captivityH1540 of the landH776.
And they set them upH7760 Micah'sH4318 graven imageH6459, which he madeH6213, all the timeH3117 that the houseH1004 of GodH430 was in ShilohH7887.
