Judges 18:3-5

The Message

^2-3 The Danites sent out five robust warriors from Zorah and Eshtaol to look over the land and see what was out there suitable for their families. They said, “Go and explore the land.”

They went into the hill country of Ephraim and got as far as the house of Micah. They camped there for the night. As they neared Micah’s house, they recognized the voice of the young Levite. They went over and said to him, “How on earth did you get here? What’s going on? What are you doing here?”

⁴ He said, “One thing led to another: Micah hired me and I’m now his priest.”

⁵ They said, “Oh, good—inquire of God for us. Find out whether our mission will be a success.”
