And they passed thence unto Mount Ephraim
Steering their coast still northward; this, according to Bunting ^F2, was eight miles from Kirjathjearim, or Mahanehdan, in which Micah's house was, for as yet they were not come to it, see ( Judges 18:15 ) .

Judges 18:13 In-Context

11 And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.

12 And they went up and pitched camp in Kirjathjearim in Judah. Therefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day; behold, it is behind Kirjathjearim.

13 And they passed from thence unto Mount Ephraim and came unto the house of Micah.

14 Then answered the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, "Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod and teraphim, and a graven image and a molten image? Now therefore consider what ye have to do."

15 And they turned in that direction, and came to the house of the young man, the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.
