15 So they turned in there and went to the house of the young Levite at Micah's place and greeted him.
15 And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted
15 And they turned aside there and came to the house of the young Levite, at the home of Micah, and asked him about his welfare.
15 So they turned off the road there, went to the house of the young Levite at Micah's place and asked how things had been with him.
15 So they turned aside there, and came to the house of the young Levite man--to the house of Micah--and greeted him.
15 Then the five men turned off the road and went over to Micah's house, where the young Levite lived, and greeted him kindly.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 18:15
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!
