Chapter 18
In
those
dayes
there
was
no
king
in
Israel:
and
in
those
daies
the
tribe
of
the
Danites
sought
them
an
inheritance
to
dwel
in:
for
vnto
that
day,
all
their
inheritance
had
not
fallen
vnto
them,
among
the
tribes
of
Israel.
2
And
the
children
of
Dan
sent
of
their
family,
fiue
men
from
their
coasts,
men
of
valour,
from
Zorah,
and
from
Eshtaol,
to
spy
out
the
land,
and
to
search
it,
and
they
said
vnto
them,
Goe,
search
the
land:
Who
when
they
came
to
mount
Ephraim,
to
the
house
of
Micah,
they
lodged
there.
3
When
they
were
by
the
house
of
Micah,
they
knew
the
voice
of
the
yong
man
the
Leuite:
and
they
turned
in
thither,
&
said
vnto
him,
Who
brought
thee
hither?
And
what
makest
thou
in
this
place?
And
what
hast
thou
here?
4
And
hee
said
vnto
them,
Thus
and
thus
dealeth
Micah
with
me,
and
hath
hired
me,
and
I
am
his
Priest.
5
And
they
sayd
vnto
him,
Aske
counsell,
we
pray
thee,
of
God,
that
we
may
know,
whether
our
way
which
we
goe,
shall
be
prosperous.
6
And
the
Priest
said
vnto
them,
Goe
in
peace:
before
the
Lord
is
your
way
wherein
ye
goe.
7
Then
the
fiue
men
departed,
and
came
to
Laish,
and
saw
the
people
that
were
therein,
how
they
dwelt
carelesse,
after
the
maner
of
the
Zidonians,
quiet
and
secure,
and
there
was
no
magistrate
in
the
land
that
might
put
them
to
shame
in
any
thing,
and
they
were
farre
from
the
Zidonians,
and
had
no
businesse
with
any
man.
8
And
they
came
vnto
their
brethren
to
Zorah,
and
Eshtaol:
and
their
brethren
said
vnto
them,
What
say
yee?
9
And
they
said,
Arise,
that
we
may
goe
vp
against
them:
for
we
haue
seene
the
land,
and
behold,
it
is
very
good:
and
are
ye
still?
Bee
not
slothfull
to
goe,
and
to
enter
to
possesse
the
land.
10
When
ye
goe,
ye
shall
come
vnto
a
people
secure,
and
to
a
large
land:
for
God
hath
giuen
it
into
your
handes:
a
place
where
there
is
no
want
of
any
thing,
that
is
in
the
earth.
11
And
there
went
from
thence
of
the
family
of
the
Danites
out
of
Zorah,
and
out
of
Eshtaol,
sixe
hundred
men,
appoynted
with
weapons
of
warre.
12
And
they
went
vp,
and
pitched
in
Kiriath-iearim,
in
Iudah:
Wherefore
they
called
that
place
Mahaneh-Dan,
vnto
this
day:
behold,
it
is
behinde
Kiriath-iearim.
13
And
they
passed
thence
vnto
mount
Ephraim,
and
came
vnto
the
house
of
Micah.
14
Then
answered
the
fiue
men
that
went
to
spie
out
the
countrey
of
Laish,
and
saide
vnto
their
brethren,
Doe
ye
know
that
there
is
in
these
houses
an
Ephod,
and
Teraphim,
and
a
grauen
image,
and
a
molten
image?
Now
therefore
consider
what
ye
haue
to
doe.
15
And
they
turned
thitherward,
and
came
to
the
house
of
the
yong
man
the
Leuite,
euen
vnto
the
house
of
Micah,
and
saluted
him.
16
And
the
six
hundred
men
appointed
with
their
weapons
of
war,
which
were
of
the
children
of
Dan,
stood
by
the
entring
of
the
gate.
17
And
the
fiue
men
that
went
to
spie
out
the
land,
went
vp
and
came
in
thither,
and
tooke
the
grauen
image,
and
the
Ephod,
and
the
Teraphim,
and
the
molten
image:
and
the
Priest
stood
in
the
entring
of
the
gate,
with
the
sixe
hundreth
men
that
were
appointed
with
weapons
of
warre.
18
And
these
went
into
Micahs
house,
and
fetched
the
carued
image,
the
Ephod,
and
the
Teraphim,
and
the
molten
image:
then
said
the
Priest
vnto
them,
What
doe
ye?
19
And
they
said
vnto
him,
Hold
thy
peace,
lay
thine
hand
vpon
thy
mouth,
and
goe
with
vs,
and
bee
to
vs
a
father
and
a
Priest:
Is
it
better
for
thee
to
bee
a
Priest
vnto
the
house
of
one
man,
or
that
thou
be
a
Priest
vnto
a
tribe
and
a
family
in
Israel?
20
And
the
Priests
heart
was
glad,
and
he
tooke
the
Ephod,
and
the
Teraphim,
and
the
grauen
image,
and
went
in
the
middest
of
the
people.
21
So
they
turned,
and
departed,
and
put
the
little
ones,
and
the
cattell,
and
the
cariage
before
them.
22
And
when
they
were
a
good
way
from
the
house
of
Micah,
the
men
that
were
in
the
houses
neere
to
Micahs
house,
were
gathered
together,
and
ouertooke
the
children
of
Dan.
23
And
they
cried
vnto
the
children
of
Dan:
and
they
turned
their
faces,
and
said
vnto
Micah,
What
aileth
thee,
that
thou
commest
with
such
a
company?
24
And
he
said,
Yee
haue
taken
away
my
gods
which
I
made,
and
the
Priest,
and
ye
are
gone
away:
and
what
haue
I
more?
And
what
is
this
that
yee
say
vnto
me,
What
aileth
thee?
25
And
the
children
of
Dan
said
vnto
him,
Let
not
thy
voyce
bee
heard
among
vs,
lest
angry
fellowes
run
vpon
thee,
and
thou
lose
thy
life,
with
the
liues
of
thy
houshold.
26
And
the
children
of
Dan
went
their
way:
and
when
Micah
sawe
that
they
were
too
strong
for
him,
he
turned
and
went
backe
vnto
his
house.
27
And
they
tooke
the
things
which
Micah
had
made,
and
the
Priest
which
hee
had,
and
came
vnto
Laish,
vnto
a
people
that
were
at
quiet,
and
secure,
and
they
smote
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
burnt
the
citie
with
fire.
28
And
there
was
no
deliuerer,
because
it
was
farre
from
Zidon,
and
they
had
no
businesse
with
any
man:
and
it
was
in
the
valley
that
lieth
by
Beth-rehob,
and
they
built
a
citie,
and
dwelt
therein.
29
And
they
called
the
name
of
the
city,
Dan,
after
the
name
of
Dan
their
father,
who
was
borne
vnto
Israel:
howbeit
the
name
of
the
citie
was
Laish
at
the
first.
30
And
the
children
of
Dan
set
vp
the
grauen
image:
and
Ionathan
the
sonne
of
Gershom,
the
sonne
of
Manasseh,
hee
and
his
sonnes,
were
Priests
to
the
tribe
of
Dan,
vntill
the
day
of
the
captiuitie
of
the
land.
31
And
they
set
them
vp
Micahs
grauen
image,
which
hee
made,
all
the
time
that
the
house
of
God
was
in
Shiloh.
