Contextual Overview
1 In those days there is no king in Israel, and in those days the tribe of the Danite is seeking for itself an inheritance to inhabit, for [that] hath not fallen to it unto that day in the midst of the tribes of Israel by inheritance. 2 And the sons of Dan send, out of their family, five men of them, men, sons of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to traverse the land, and to search it, and they say unto them, `Go, search the land;' and they come into the hill-country of Ephraim, unto the house of Micah, and lodge there. 3 They [are] with the household of Micah, and they have discerned the voice of the young man, the Levite, and turn aside there, and say to him, `Who hath brought thee hither? and what art thou doing in this [place?] and what to thee here?' 4 And he saith unto them, `Thus and thus hath Micah done to me; and he hireth me, and I am to him for a priest.' 5 And they say to him, `Ask, we pray thee, at God, and we know whether our way is prosperous on which we are going.' 6 And the priest saith to them, `Go in peace; over-against Jehovah [is] your way in which ye go.'
