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 Entonces el joven sacerdote estuvo más que dispuesto a ir con ellos, y se llevó consigo el efod sagrado, los ídolos de familia y la imagen tallada.

21 El grupo dio la vuelta y siguió su viaje con sus hijos, el ganado y las posesiones al frente.

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!
