6 The priest answered them, "Go in peace. Your journey has the Lord's approval."
6 And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the Lord is your way wherein ye go.
6 And the priest said to them, "Go in peace. The journey on which you go is under the eye of the Lord."
6 The priest said, "Go assured. God's looking out for you all the way."
6 And the priest said to them, "Go in peace. The presence of the Lord be with you on your way."
6 "Go in peace," the priest replied. "For the Lord is watching over your journey."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 18:6
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!
