Jueces 18:24 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 18:24

And he said, ye have taken away my gods that I made
Meaning his graven and molten images, which he had made, or caused to be made, out of the silver his mother gave him, or however had paid for the making of; and though this might be an argument proving his right unto them, it was a very poor one in favour of their deity; and it is astonishing he should call them gods he knew the making of, and who could not save themselves from being stolen and carried off:

and the priest and ye are gone away;
they had not only took away his gods, but the priest that sacrificed for him unto them, and assisted him in acts of devotion to them, or to God by them, and were gone off with both:

and what have I more?
signifying, that all he had in the world, wife, children, and substance, were all nothing in comparison of these; there was nothing he so much valued as he did these, nor could he take any pleasure or comfort in anything, being deprived of them, so much was his heart set on them:

and what is this that ye say unto me, what aileth thee?
what a question is this you ask, as if the injury done me was none at all, and that I had no reason to complain; that it was a trifling insignificant thing, worthy of no regard, when it was a matter of the greater moment and importance to him in life.

Jueces 18:24 In-Context

22 Cuando los de la tribu de Dan estaban ya bastante lejos de la casa de Micaía, los vecinos de Micaía salieron a perseguirlos.

23 Estaban gritando cuando los alcanzaron. Entonces los hombres de Dan se dieron vuelta y le dijeron a Micaía:
—¿Qué te pasa? ¿Por qué has reunido a estos hombres y nos persiguen de esta forma?

24 —¿Cómo me preguntan: “¿Qué te pasa?” —contestó Micaía—. ¡Ustedes se han llevado todos los dioses que yo hice y a mi sacerdote, y no me queda nada!

25 Los hombres de Dan le dijeron:
—¡Ten cuidado con lo que dices! Por aquí hay unos hombres de mal genio que podrían enojarse y matarte a ti y a tu familia.

26 Así que los hombres de Dan siguieron su camino. Cuando Micaía vio que eran demasiados para atacarlos, dio la vuelta y regresó a su casa.
