Judges 1:1

1:1

Now after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Joshua
<03091>

it came to pass, that the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

asked
<07592> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Who shall go up
<05927> (8799)

for us against the Canaanites
<03669>

first
<08462>_,

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against them?

Judges 11:1-40

11:1

Now Jephthah
<03316>

the Gileadite
<01569>

was a mighty man
<01368>

of valour
<02428>_,

and he [was] the son
<01121>

of an harlot
<0802> <02181> (8802)_:

and Gilead
<01568>

begat
<03205> (8686)

Jephthah
<03316>_.

{Jephthah: Gr. Jephthae} {an harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot}

11:2

And Gilead's
<01568>

wife
<0802>

bare
<03205> (8799)

him sons
<01121>_;

and his wife's
<0802>

sons
<01121>

grew up
<01431> (8799)_,

and they thrust out
<01644> (8762)

Jephthah
<03316>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou shalt not inherit
<05157> (8799)

in our father's
<01>

house
<01004>_;

for thou [art] the son
<01121>

of a strange
<0312>

woman
<0802>_.

11:3

Then Jephthah
<03316>

fled
<01272> (8799)

from
<06440>

his brethren
<0251>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

of Tob
<02897>_:

and there were gathered
<03950> (8691)

vain
<07386>

men
<0582>

to Jephthah
<03316>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)

with him. {from: Heb. from the face [of]}

11:4

And it came to pass in process of time
<03117>_,

that the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

made war
<03898> (8735)

against Israel
<03478>_.

{in process...: Heb. after days}

11:5

And it was so, that when the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

made war
<03898> (8738)

against Israel
<03478>_,

the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>

went
<03212> (8799)

to fetch
<03947> (8800)

Jephthah
<03316>

out of the land
<0776>

of Tob
<02897>_:

11:6

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jephthah
<03316>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and be our captain
<07101>_,

that we may fight
<03898> (8735)

with the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:7

And Jephthah
<03316>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

Did not ye hate
<08130> (8804)

me, and expel
<01644> (8762)

me out of my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_?

and why are ye come
<0935> (8804)

unto me now when ye are in distress
<06887> (8804)_?

11:8

And the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jephthah
<03316>_,

Therefore we turn again
<07725> (8804)

to thee now, that thou mayest go
<01980> (8804)

with us, and fight
<03898> (8738)

against the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and be our head
<07218>

over all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Gilead
<01568>_.

11:9

And Jephthah
<03316>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

If ye bring me home again
<07725> (8688)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

deliver
<05414> (8804)

them before
<06440>

me, shall I be your head
<07218>_?

11:10

And the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jephthah
<03316>_,

The LORD
<03068>

be witness
<08085> (8802)

between us, if we do
<06213> (8799)

not so according to thy words
<01697>_.

{witness...: Heb. the hearer between us}

11:11

Then Jephthah
<03316>

went
<03212> (8799)

with the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

and the people
<05971>

made
<07760> (8799)

him head
<07218>

and captain
<07101>

over them: and Jephthah
<03316>

uttered
<01696> (8762)

all his words
<01697>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

in Mizpeh
<04709>_.

11:12

And Jephthah
<03316>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come
<0935> (8804)

against me to fight
<03898> (8736)

in my land
<0776>_?

11:13

And the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

answered
<0559> (8799)

unto the messengers
<04397>

of Jephthah
<03316>_,

Because Israel
<03478>

took away
<03947> (8804)

my land
<0776>_,

when they came up
<05927> (8800)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

from Arnon
<0769>

even unto Jabbok
<02999>_,

and unto Jordan
<03383>_:

now therefore restore those [lands] again
<07725> (8685)

peaceably
<07965>_.

11:14

And Jephthah
<03316>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

again
<03254> (8686)

unto the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_:

11:15

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

Jephthah
<03316>_,

Israel
<03478>

took not away
<03947> (8804)

the land
<0776>

of Moab
<04124>_,

nor the land
<0776>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_:

11:16

But when Israel
<03478>

came up
<05927> (8800)

from Egypt
<04714>_,

and walked
<03212> (8799)

through the wilderness
<04057>

unto the Red
<05488>

sea
<03220>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Kadesh
<06946>_;

11:17

Then Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto the king
<04428>

of Edom
<0123>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let me, I pray thee, pass through
<05674> (8799)

thy land
<0776>_:

but the king
<04428>

of Edom
<0123>

would not hearken
<08085> (8804)

[thereto]. And in like manner they sent
<07971> (8804)

unto the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_:

but he would
<014> (8804)

not [consent]: and Israel
<03478>

abode
<03427> (8799)

in Kadesh
<06946>_.

11:18

Then they went along
<03212> (8799)

through the wilderness
<04057>_,

and compassed
<05437> (8799)

the land
<0776>

of Edom
<0123>_,

and the land
<0776>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

by the east side
<04217> <08121>

of the land
<0776>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

on the other side
<05676>

of Arnon
<0769>_,

but came
<0935> (8804)

not within the border
<01366>

of Moab
<04124>_:

for Arnon
<0769>

[was] the border
<01366>

of Moab
<04124>_.

11:19

And Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto Sihon
<05511>

king
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

the king
<04428>

of Heshbon
<02809>_;

and Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Let us pass
<05674> (8799)_,

we pray thee, through thy land
<0776>

into
<05704>

my place
<04725>_.

11:20

But Sihon
<05511>

trusted
<0539> (8689)

not Israel
<03478>

to pass
<05674> (8800)

through his coast
<01366>_:

but Sihon
<05511>

gathered
<0622> (0)

all his people
<05971>

together
<0622> (8799)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in Jahaz
<03096>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

against Israel
<03478>_.

11:21

And the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

Sihon
<05511>

and all his people
<05971>

into the hand
<03027>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and they smote
<05221> (8686)

them: so Israel
<03478>

possessed
<03423> (8799)

all the land
<0776>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of that country
<0776>_.

11:22

And they possessed
<03423> (8799)

all the coasts
<01366>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

from Arnon
<0769>

even unto Jabbok
<02999>_,

and from the wilderness
<04057>

even unto Jordan
<03383>_.

11:23

So now the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

hath dispossessed
<03423> (8689)

the Amorites
<0567>

from before
<06440>

his people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and shouldest thou possess
<03423> (8799)

it?

11:24

Wilt not thou possess
<03423> (8799)

that which Chemosh
<03645>

thy god
<0430>

giveth thee to possess
<03423> (8686)_?

So whomsoever the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

shall drive out
<03423> (8689)

from before
<06440>

us, them will we possess
<03423> (8799)_.

11:25

And now [art] thou any thing better
<02896>

than Balak
<01111>

the son
<01121>

of Zippor
<06834>_,

king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_?

did he ever
<07378> (8800)

strive
<07378> (8804)

against Israel
<03478>_,

or did he ever
<03898> (8736)

fight
<03898> (8738)

against them,

11:26

While Israel
<03478>

dwelt
<03427> (8800)

in Heshbon
<02809>

and her towns
<01323>_,

and in Aroer
<06177>

and her towns
<01323>_,

and in all the cities
<05892>

that [be] along by the coasts
<03027>

of Arnon
<0769>_,

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

years
<08141>_?

why therefore did ye not recover
<05337> (8689)

[them] within that time
<06256>_?

11:27

Wherefore I have not sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thee, but thou doest
<06213> (8802) <0853>

me wrong
<07451>

to war
<03898> (8736)

against me: the LORD
<03068>

the Judge
<08199> (8802)

be judge
<08199> (8799)

this day
<03117>

between the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

and the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:28

Howbeit the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto the words
<01697>

of Jephthah
<03316>

which he sent
<07971> (8804)

him.

11:29

Then the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came upon Jephthah
<03316>_,

and he passed over
<05674> (8799)

Gilead
<01568>_,

and Manasseh
<04519>_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

Mizpeh
<04708>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

and from Mizpeh
<04708>

of Gilead
<01568>

he passed over
<05674> (8804)

[unto] the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:30

And Jephthah
<03316>

vowed
<05087> (8799)

a vow
<05088>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

If thou shalt without fail
<05414> (8800)

deliver
<05414> (8799)

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

into mine hands
<03027>_,

11:31

Then it shall be, that whatsoever
<03318> (8802)

cometh forth
<03318> (8799)

of the doors
<01817>

of my house
<01004>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

me, when I return
<07725> (8800)

in peace
<07965>

from the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

shall surely be the LORD'S
<03068>_,

and I will offer it up
<05927> (8689)

for a burnt offering
<05930>_.

{whatsoever...: Heb. that which cometh forth, which shall come forth} {and...: or, or I will offer it, etc}

11:32

So Jephthah
<03316>

passed over
<05674> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against them; and the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into his hands
<03027>_.

11:33

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

them from Aroer
<06177>_,

even till thou come
<0935> (8800)

to Minnith
<04511>_,

[even] twenty
<06242>

cities
<05892>_,

and unto the plain
<058>

of the vineyards
<03754> (8677) <064>_,

with a very
<03966>

great
<01419>

slaughter
<04347>_.

Thus the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

were subdued
<03665> (8735)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{the plain: or, Abel}

11:34

And Jephthah
<03316>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Mizpeh
<04709>

unto his house
<01004>_,

and, behold, his daughter
<01323>

came out
<03318> (8802)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him with timbrels
<08596>

and with dances
<04246>_:

and she [was his] only child
<03173>_;

beside her he had neither son
<01121>

nor
<0176>

daughter
<01323>_.

{beside...: or, he had not of his own either son or daughter: Heb. of himself}

11:35

And it came to pass, when he saw
<07200> (8800)

her, that he rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Alas
<0162>_,

my daughter
<01323>_!

thou hast brought
<03766> (0)

me very
<03766> (8689)

low
<03766> (8687)_,

and thou art one of them that trouble
<05916> (8802)

me: for I have opened
<06475> (8804)

my mouth
<06310>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and I cannot
<03201> (8799)

go back
<07725> (8800)_.

11:36

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, My father
<01>_,

[if] thou hast opened
<06475> (8804)

thy mouth
<06310>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

do
<06213> (8798)

to me according to that which
<0834>

hath proceeded
<03318> (8804)

out of thy mouth
<06310>_;

forasmuch
<0310>

as the LORD
<03068>

hath taken
<06213> (8804)

vengeance
<05360>

for thee of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

[even] of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:37

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto her father
<01>_,

Let this thing
<01697>

be done
<06213> (8735)

for me: let me alone
<07503> (8685)

two
<08147>

months
<02320>_,

that I may go up
<03212> (8799)

and down
<03381> (8804)

upon the mountains
<02022>_,

and bewail
<01058> (8799)

my virginity
<01331>_,

I and my fellows
<07464> (8675) <07474>_.

{go up...: Heb. go and go down}

11:38

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_.

And he sent her away
<07971> (8799)

[for] two
<08147>

months
<02320>_:

and she went
<03212> (8799)

with her companions
<07464>_,

and bewailed
<01058> (8799)

her virginity
<01331>

upon the mountains
<02022>_.

11:39

And it came to pass at the end
<07093>

of two
<08147>

months
<02320>_,

that she returned
<07725> (8799)

unto her father
<01>_,

who did
<06213> (8799)

with her [according] to his vow
<05088>

which he had vowed
<05087> (8804)_:

and she knew
<03045> (8804)

no man
<0376>_.

And it was a custom
<02706>

in Israel
<03478>_,

{custom: or, ordinance}

11:40

[That] the daughters
<01323>

of Israel
<03478>

went
<03212> (8799)

yearly
<03117> <03117>

to lament
<08567> (8763)

the daughter
<01323>

of Jephthah
<03316>

the Gileadite
<01569>

four
<0702>

days
<03117>

in a year
<08141>_.

{yearly: Heb. from year to year} {to lament: or, to talk with}

Judges 18:1-31

18:1

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>_.

18:2

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}

18:3

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?

18:4

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>_.

18:5

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)_.

18:6

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)_.

18:7

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}

18:8

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?

18:9

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>_.

18:10

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>_.

18:11

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}

18:12

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>_.

18:13

And they passed
<05674> (8799)

thence unto mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

unto the house
<01004>

of Micah
<04318>_.

18:14

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)_.

18:15

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}

18:16

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>_.

18:17

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>_.

18:18

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?

18:19

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>_?

18:20

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>_.

18:21

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.

18:22

[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>_.

18:23

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?}

18:24

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?

18:25

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}

18:26

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>_.

18:27

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>_.

18:28

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.

18:29

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>_.

18:30

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>_.

18:31

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>_.
