Contextual Overview
14 And the five men who had gone to spy out the land of Laish answered and said to their brothers, Do you not know that there are in these houses an ephod and household idols, and a graven image, and a molten image? And now, you know what youare to do. 15 And they turned in there, and came into the house of the young man, the Levite in Micah's house. And they asked him for the peace. 16 And the six hundred men of the sons of Dan girded with their weapons of war were standing at the opening of the gate. 17 And the five men, those who went to spy out the land came in there, and they took the graven image, and the ephod, and the household idols, and the casted image. And the priest was standingsix hundred men who were girded with weapons of war. 18 And when these went into the house of Micah and took the graven image, the ephod, and the household idols, and the casted image, even the priest said to them, What are you doing? 19 And they said to him, Be quiet! Lay your hand on your mouth, and go with us, and be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest for one man's house, or for you to be a priest to a tribe and a family in Israel? 20 And the heart of the priest was glad. And he took the ephod, and the household idols, and the graven image, and went among the people. 21 And they turned and departed, and put the little ones, and the livestock, and the valuables before them. 22 They had gone far away from Micah's house, and the men who were in the houses near Micah's house had been called together, and had overtaken the sons of Dan. 23 And they called to the sons of Dan, and they turned their faces and said to Micah, What ails you, that you have been called together?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they turned thitherward,.... It seems as if the house lay a little out of their way, and therefore they turned on one hand to go unto it:
and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah; for the young man's house was only an apartment of Micah's, and lay very probably next to that in which the images, and oracle were; and they made up to the young man's apartment, rather than to Micah's, because the above things were under his care:
and saluted him; asked him of his welfare in a kind and obliging manner, the rather to ingratiate themselves unto him.
