Judges 18:1-5

1In those daysH3117 there was no kingH4428 in IsraelH3478: and in those daysH3117 the tribeH7626 of the Danites soughtH1245 them an inheritanceH5159 to dwellH3427 in; for unto that dayH3117 their inheritanceH5159 had not fallenH5307 unto them among the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.

2And the children of DanH1835 sentH7971 of their familyH4940 fiveH2568 menH376 from their whole number, menH376 of valor, from ZorahH6881, and from EshtaolH847, to spyH7270 out the landH776, and to searchH2713 it; and they saidH559 unto them, GoH935, searchH2713 the landH776. And they cameH935 to the hill-country of EphraimH669, unto the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, and lodged there.

3When they were by the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, they knew the voiceH6963 of the youngH5288 manH5288 the LeviteH3881; and they turnedH5493 asideH5493 thither, and saidH559 unto him, Who broughtH935 thee hither? and what doest thou in this place? and what hast thou hereH6311?

4And he saidH559 unto them, Thus and thus hath MicahH4318 dealt with me, and he hath hiredH7936 me, and I amH1961 becomeH1961 his priestH3548.

5And they saidH559 unto him, AskH7592 counsel, we pray thee, of GodH430, that we may knowH3045 whether our wayH1870 which we goH1980 shall be prosperous.
