Judges 18:19-31

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

<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

all the time
<03117>

that the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>

was in Shiloh
<07887>_.
