Jueces 18:22 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 18:22

And when they were a good way from the house of Micah
For it might be some time before Micah knew that his gods were stolen, and his priest was decoyed from him; and it must take up more time still to get his servants and neighbours together to pursue after those that injured him:

the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered
together;
no doubt at the request of Micah, who informed them of what had happened to him: and they being not only his neighbours, but deeply involved in the same superstition and idolatry, and closely addicted to it, and to whom it might in some respects be advantageous at it brought people from various parts to worship, or to consult the oracle: these being got together in a body, pursued

and overtook the children of Dan;
who were obliged to move but slowly, because of their wives, little ones, and heavy substance they carried with them.

Jueces 18:22 In-Context

20 El sacerdote se alegró. Tomó el efod, los dioses domésticos y la imagen tallada, y se fue con esa gente.

21 Ellos, poniendo por delante a sus niños, su ganado y sus bienes, se volvieron y partieron.

22 Cuando ya se habían alejado de la casa de Micaías, los hombres que vivían cerca de Micaías se reunieron y dieron alcance a los danitas.

23 Como gritaban tras ellos, los danitas se dieron vuelta y le preguntaron a Micaías:—¿Qué te sucede, que has convocado a tu gente?

24 Micaías les respondió:—Ustedes se llevaron mis dioses, que yo mismo hice, y también se llevaron a mi sacerdote y luego se fueron. ¿Qué más me queda? ¡Y todavía se atreven a preguntarme qué me sucede!
