Judges 18:1-5

1In thoseH1992 daysH3117 there was noH3808 kingH4428 in IsraelH3478: and in thoseH1992 daysH3117 the tribeH7626 of the DanitesH1839 soughtH1245 them an inheritanceH5159 to dwellH3427 in; for unto that dayH3117 their inheritanceH5159 had notH3808 fallenH5307 unto them among the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.

2And the childrenH1121 of DanH1835 sentH7971 of their familyH4940 fiveH2568 menH376 from their wholeH7098 numberH7098, menH376 of valour, from ZorahH6881, and from EshtaolH847, to spyH7270 outH7971 the landH776, and to searchH2713 it; and they saidH559 unto them, GoH935, searchH2713 the landH776: and they cameH935 to the hillH2022 countryH2022 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 whatH4100 doest thou in this placeH1004? and whatH4100 hast thou hereH6311?

4And he saidH559 unto them, ThusH2088 and thusH2088 hath MicahH4318 dealt with meH413, and he hath hiredH7936 meH413, and I am becomeH1961 his priestH3548.

5And they saidH559 unto him, AskH7592 counsel, weH587 prayH4994 thee, of GodH430, that weH587 may knowH3045 whether our wayH1870 whichH834 weH587 goH1980 shall be prosperousH6743.
