Contextual Overview
14 Daarop het die vyf man wat gegaan het om die land van Lais te verken, aan hulle broers begin sê: Weet julle dat in hierdie huise 'n skouerkleed en huisgode en 'n gesnede en 'n gegote beeld is? Weet dan nou wat julle moet doen! 15 Hulle het toe daarheen uitgedraai en gekom by die huis van die jongman, die Leviet, die huis van Miga, en hom na sy welstand gevra. 16 Onderwyl die ses honderd man wat uit die kinders van Dan was, met hulle wapens omgord voor die ingang van die poort gaan staan, 17 het die vyf man wat gegaan het om die land te verken, opgegaan, daar ingekom, die gesnede beeld en die skouerkleed en die huisgode en die gegote beeld geneem, terwyl die priester by die ingang van die poort bly staan saam met die ses honderd man met wapens omgord. 18that they were saying to you, "In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts." 19These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, not having the Spirit. 20But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. 22And on some, who are doubting, have mercy; 23and for others, save, snatching them out of the fire; and on others have mercy with fear, hating even the tunic polluted by the flesh.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the children of Dan said unto him, let not thy voice be heard among us,.... Complaining of us as having done an unjust thing, charging and reproaching us with theft and sacrilege, insisting upon a restoration of the things taken, and abusing with odious names and characters:
lest angry fellows run upon thee: lest men of bitter and passionate spirits, provoked by ill language given them, should draw their swords and fall upon thee:
and thou lose thy life, and the life of thy household; the life of himself, his family, servants, tenants, and neighbours with him, which ought to have been more precious and valuable than his gods; of which there was great danger in demanding his gods, which by this they let him know they would not part with.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 18:25. And thou lose thy life — This was argumentum ad hominem; he must put up with the loss of his substance, or else lose his life! It was the mere language of a modern highwayman: Your life or your money.
