James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Judges 18:1-31

APPENDIX TO THE BOOK The chapters concluding the book detail certain incidents at various periods during the preceding history, when the whole nation was disordered and corrupt, and “every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” A MAN-MADE PRIEST (Judges 17:0 ) Chapter 17 tells of Micah who established his own imitation of the tabernacle. Of course it was contrary to the law and evinced ignorance and superstition, although the motive may not have been bad. ORIGIN OF THE CITY OF... read more

Judges 18:0 (Annotated) Judges 18:0 1. In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe [may mean a tribe, or the division of a tribe] of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance [a description of their inheritance is given in Jos 19:40-46 ] had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel. 2. And the Children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coast [their lords], men of valour [sons of force], from... read more

The Priest of Micah Taken to Laish v. 13. And they passed thence unto Mount Ephraim, along the way taken by the spies, and came unto the house of Micah. v. 14. Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, giving in advance the information which the members of their tribe would presently ask for, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image, a carved and chased idol with its... read more

The Danites, on the way to Laish, pillage the sanctuary of Micah, and persuade his priest to go with them. Micah pursues, but finding the robbers too strong, turns back. The conquest and destruction of Laish, and the building of Dan.Judges 18:14-3114Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Judges 18:1-31

The account of the backsliding of individuals is followed by an illustration of its widespread existence among the people. While seeking new territory the Danites found Micah and the condition of things established in his house. When presently they moved forward to success, they did not hesitate to size Micah's images and capture his priest. The terrible decadence of the religious ideal is startlingly revealed in this whole story. Deeply embedded in the character of the people was the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 18:16

‘ And the six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.’ Meanwhile the six hundred warriors were waiting at ‘the entering of the gate’. This may have been the gate of the city, so as not to frighten the inhabitants, or possibly a gate leading to Micah’s property which would thus seem to have been fairly extensive, a small township in itself, for we note that no name of a town is given in the narrative. The six hundred... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 18:1-31

Judges 17-18. This section is the first of two supplements. It explains the origin of the famous shrine at Dan, and the naî veté of its moral and religious ideas proves how ancient it is. In not a few places the text has evidently been tampered with by scribes, who took offence at practices which were from a later point of view irregular. The events in question must have occurred before the time of Deborah ( Judges 5:17). read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 18:11-31

Judges 18:11-Ezekiel : . The Danites Get Possession of a Sacred Image.— Kiriath-jearim (the city of forests) is perhaps Kuriat el ’ enab. There was a Mahaneh-dan (camp of Dan) between Zorah and Eshtaol, but more than one place might bear such a name. Judges 18:14 . “ Consider what he hath to do” is the language of highwaymen. What had the Danites to do? To respect the rights of property? To avoid sacrilege? They knew better. Judges 18:19 . They stole not only the sacra but the priest, whose... read more

When a distribution was made of the land by Joshua, a considerable territory was allotted to the tribe of Dan (Joshua 19:40-47).
