Judges 18:15 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 18:15

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.

Judges 18:15 In-Context

13 They went on from there and came to Micah's house in the hill country of Ephraim.

14 Then the five men who had gone to spy on the country around Laish said to their companions, "Did you know that here in one of these houses there is a wooden idol covered with silver? There are also other idols and an ephod. What do you think we should do?"

15 So they went into Micah's house, where the young Levite lived, and asked the Levite how he was getting along.

16 Meanwhile the six hundred Danite soldiers, ready for battle, were standing at the gate.

17 The five spies went straight on into the house and took the wooden idol covered with silver, the other idols, and the ephod, while the priest stayed at the gate with the six hundred armed men.
