Judges 18:13

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 Therefore six hundred men girded with armours of battle went forth of the kindred of Dan, that is, from Zorah and Eshtaol. (And so six hundred men of the Danites, girded with arms, or with weapons, for battle, went forth from Zorah and Eshtaol.)

12 And they went up, and dwelled in Kiriathjearim of Judah, the which place took from that time the name of [the] Tents of Dan (the which place from that time took the name of Mahanehdan), and it is behind the back of Kiriathjearim.

13 From thence they passed into the hill (country) of Ephraim; and when they had come to the house of Micah,

14 the five men, that were sent before to behold the land of Laish, said to their other brethren, Know ye, that ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image is in (one of) these houses; see ye what pleaseth you. (the five men, who were sent before to spy out the land of Laish, said to their other kinsmen, Know ye, that an ephod, and teraphim, and a carved idol, and a cast image be in one of these houses? see ye what pleaseth you.)

15 And when they had bowed a little aside, they entered into the house of the young deacon, that was in the house of Micah (they entered into the young Levite's home, that is, into Micah's house), and they greeted him with peaceable words.
