8 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?
8 When they returned to Zorah and Eshtaol, their fellow Danites asked them, "How did you find things?"
8 And when they came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers said to them, "What do you report?"
8 When they got back to Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers asked, "So, how did you find things?"
8 Then the spies came back to their brethren at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brethren said to them, "What is your report?"
8 When the men returned to Zorah and Eshtaol, their relatives asked them, "What did you find?"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 18:8
Chapter Contents
The Danites seek to enlarge their inheritance, and rob Micah.
The Danites determined to take Micah's gods with them. Oh the folly of these Danites! How could they imagine those gods should protect them, that could not keep themselves from being stolen! To take them for their own use, was a double crime; it showed they neither feared God, nor regarded man, but were lost both to godliness and honesty. What a folly was it for Micah to call those his gods, which he had made, when He only is to be worshipped by us as God, that made us! That is put in God's place, which we are concerned about, as if our all were bound up in it. If people will walk in the name of their false gods, much more should we love and serve the true God!
