Judges 18:4 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 18:4

And he said unto them, thus and thus dealeth Micah with me,
&c.] Told them the whole story, how he came to the door of Micah's house, how he inquired of him who he was, and from whence he came, and whither he was going, and then invited him into his house to stay with him:

and hath hired me;
by the year, for ten shekels of silver, a suit of clothes, and meat and drink, and by this means he got a livelihood, and was supported:

and I am his priest;
and that was his business to offer sacrifice for his family, and to consult his oracle for him, and for whomsoever should apply.

Judges 18:4 In-Context

2 The children of Dan sent of their family five men from their whole number, men of valor, from Tzor`ah, and from Eshta'ol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said to them, Go, search the land. They came to the hill-country of Efrayim, to the house of Mikhah, and lodged there.

3 When they were by the house of Mikhah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; and they turned aside there, and said to him, Who brought you here? and what do you in this place? and what have you here?

4 He said to them, Thus and thus has Mikhah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I am become his Kohen.

5 They said to him, Ask counsel, we pray you, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.

6 The Kohen said to them, Go in shalom: before the LORD is your way wherein you go.
