Jueces 18:3 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 18:3

When they were by the house of Micah
At their inn, which might be next to it, or as they were passing by it:

they knew the voice of the young man the Levite;
who had been in their country, and they had been in his company and conversation, and they knew the tone of his voice when they heard it; a particular brogue he might have. Abarbinel conjectures, that he was singing to Micah's idol, or multiplying his prayers before him:

and they turned in thither;
into Micah's house, and into the apartment where the young man was;

and said unto him, who brought thee hither?
they knew he was of Bethlehemjudah; they inquire therefore how he came there, who sent for him, and by what means he was brought to that place:

and what makest thou in this place?
they knew he was a Levite, and that such an one had no business to minister but at the tabernacle, and therefore they inquire what was his employment here: and what hast thou here? to support himself with, what he had for his maintenance, or how he lived.

Jueces 18:3 In-Context

1 IdolatrĂ­a en la tribu de Dan
En esos dĂ­as, Israel no tenĂ­a rey. Y la tribu de Dan buscaba un lugar donde establecerse, porque aĂşn no habĂ­a entrado en el territorio que se le habĂ­a asignado cuando se hizo la divisiĂłn de la tierra entre las tribus de Israel.
2 AsĂ­ que los hombres de Dan escogieron de entre sus clanes a cinco guerreros competentes de las ciudades de Zora y Estaol para que exploraran algĂşn territorio donde la tribu pudiera establecerse.
Cuando los guerreros llegaron a la zona montañosa de Efraín, entraron en la casa de Micaía y allí pasaron la noche.
3 Estando en la casa de MicaĂ­a, reconocieron el acento del joven levita, asĂ­ que se le acercaron y le preguntaron:
—¿Quién te trajo aquí? ¿Qué haces en este lugar? ¿Por qué estás aquí?
4 Él les contó de su acuerdo con Micaía, quien lo había contratado como su sacerdote personal.
5 Entonces ellos dijeron:
—Pregúntale a Dios si nuestro viaje tendrá éxito.
