Contextual Overview
1 There was no king in Israel at that time. In those days the tribe of Dan was looking for territory to claim and settle in because they had not yet received any land of their own among the tribes of Israel. 2 So the people of Dan chose five qualified men out of all the families in the tribe and sent them from the towns of Zorah and Eshtaol with instructions to explore the land and spy on it. When they arrived in the hill country of Ephraim, they stayed at Micah's house. 3 While they were there, they recognized the accent of the young Levite, so they went up to him and asked, "What are you doing here? Who brought you here?" 4 He answered, "I have an arrangement with Micah, who pays me to serve as his priest." 5 They said to him, "Please ask God if we are going to be successful on our trip." 6 The priest answered, "You have nothing to worry about. The Lord is taking care of you on this trip."
Bible Verse Review

Go in peace: 1 Kings 22:6, 1 Kings 22:12, 1 Kings 22:15, Jeremiah 23:21, Jeremiah 23:22, Jeremiah 23:32
before: Deuteronomy 11:12, Psalms 33:18, 1 Thessalonians 3:11
the Lord: As the Levite uses the word Jehovah, and as the Danites succeeded according to the oracle delivered by him, some learned men are of opinion, that the worship established by Micah was not of an idolatrous kind.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the priest said to them, go in peace,.... After he had consulted the oracle, or had asked counsel by the ephod and teraphim; either of his own head, or by a voice he had heard, which Satan might be permitted of God to deliver, he very roundly told them that they might proceed on in their journey with their minds quite easy, and with full assurance of success:
before the Lord is your way wherein ye go; it is seen, observed, and taken notice of by him, and he approves of it; it is according to his will, and under his direction and protection, and success from him may be depended upon; though some observe that this answer is delivered in ambiguous terms, as generally the oracles of demons were, and might be taken in a good or bad sense, as the event should be; as that their way was before the Lord, and was seen by him either with pleasure or displeasure, with approbation or disapprobation, for their good, or for their harm: so that let it fall out as it might, the credit of the oracle was saved.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Before the Lord ... - i. e. He looks favorably upon it. (Compare Ezra 8:21-22.)
