Judges 第 18 章 - King James Strong Number Version

1

In those days <H3117> [there was] no king <H4428> in Israel: <H3478> and in those days <H3117> the tribe <H7626> of the Danites <H1839> sought <H1245> them an inheritance <H5159> to dwell in; <H3427> for unto that day <H3117> [all their] inheritance <H5159> had not fallen <H5307> unto them among <H8432> the tribes <H7626> of Israel. <H3478>

2

And the children <H1121> of Dan <H1835> sent <H7971> of their family <H4940> five <H2568> men <H0582> from their coasts, <H7098> men <H0582> <H1121> of valour, <H2428> from Zorah, <H6881> and from Eshtaol, <H0847> to spy out <H7270> the land, <H0776> and to search <H2713> it; and they said <H0559> unto them, Go, <H3212> search <H2713> the land: <H0776> who when they came <H0935> to mount <H2022> Ephraim, <H0669> to the house <H1004> of Micah, <H4318> they lodged <H3885> there.

3

When they [were] by the house <H1004> of Micah, <H4318> they knew <H5234> the voice <H6963> of the young man <H5288> the Levite: <H3881> and they turned in <H5493> thither, and said <H0559> unto him, Who brought <H0935> thee hither? <H1988> and what makest <H6213> thou in this [place]? and what hast thou here?

4

And he said <H0559> unto them, Thus <H2090> and thus <H2090> dealeth <H6213> Micah <H4318> with me, and hath hired <H7936> me, and I am his priest. <H3548>

5

And they said <H0559> unto him, Ask <H7592> counsel, we pray thee, of God, <H0430> that we may know <H3045> whether our way <H1870> which we go <H1980> shall be prosperous. <H6743>

6

And the priest <H3548> said <H0559> unto them, Go <H3212> in peace: <H7965> before <H5227> the LORD <H3068> [is] your way <H1870> wherein ye go. <H3212>

7

Then the five <H2568> men <H0582> departed, <H3212> and came <H0935> to Laish, <H3919> and saw <H7200> the people <H5971> that [were] therein, <H7130> how they dwelt <H3427> careless, <H0983> after the manner <H4941> of the Zidonians, <H6722> quiet <H8252> and secure; <H0982> and [there was] no magistrate <H3423> <H6114> in the land, <H0776> that might put [them] to shame <H3637> in [any] thing; <H1697> and they [were] far <H7350> from the Zidonians, <H6722> and had no business <H1697> with [any] man. <H0120>

8

And they came <H0935> unto their brethren <H0251> to Zorah <H6881> and Eshtaol: <H0847> and their brethren <H0251> said <H0559> unto them, What [say] ye?

9

And they said, <H0559> Arise, <H6965> that we may go up <H5927> against them: for we have seen <H7200> the land, <H0776> and, behold, it [is] very <H3966> good: <H2896> and [are] ye still? <H2814> be not slothful <H6101> to go, <H3212> [and] to enter <H0935> to possess <H3423> the land. <H0776>

10

When ye go, <H0935> ye shall come <H0935> unto a people <H5971> secure, <H0982> and to a large <H7342> land: <H0776> <H3027> for God <H0430> hath given <H5414> it into your hands; <H3027> a place <H4725> where [there is] no want <H4270> of any thing <H1697> that [is] in the earth. <H0776>

11

And there went <H5265> from thence of the family <H4940> of the Danites, <H1839> out of Zorah <H6881> and out of Eshtaol, <H0847> six <H8337> hundred <H3967> men <H0376> appointed <H2296> with weapons <H3627> of war. <H4421>

12

And they went up, <H5927> and pitched <H2583> in Kirjathjearim, <H7157> in Judah: <H3063> wherefore they called <H7121> that place <H4725> Mahanehdan <H4265> unto this day: <H3117> behold, [it is] behind <H0310> Kirjathjearim. <H7157>

13

And they passed <H5674> thence unto mount <H2022> Ephraim, <H0669> and came <H0935> unto the house <H1004> of Micah. <H4318>

14

Then answered <H6030> the five <H2568> men <H0582> that went <H1980> to spy out <H7270> the country <H0776> of Laish, <H3919> and said <H0559> unto their brethren, <H0251> Do ye know <H3045> that there is <H3426> in these houses <H1004> an ephod, <H0646> and teraphim, <H8655> and a graven image, <H6459> and a molten image? <H4541> now therefore consider <H3045> what ye have to do. <H6213>

15

And they turned <H5493> thitherward, and came <H0935> to the house <H1004> of the young man <H5288> the Levite, <H3881> [even] unto the house <H1004> of Micah, <H4318> and saluted <H7592> <H7965> him.

16

And the six <H8337> hundred <H3967> men <H0376> appointed <H2296> with their weapons <H3627> of war, <H4421> which [were] of the children <H1121> of Dan, <H1835> stood <H5324> by the entering <H6607> of the gate. <H8179>

17

And the five <H2568> men <H0582> that went <H1980> to spy out <H7270> the land <H0776> went up, <H5927> [and] came in <H0935> thither, [and] took <H3947> the graven image, <H6459> and the ephod, <H0646> and the teraphim, <H8655> and the molten image: <H4541> and the priest <H3548> stood <H5324> in the entering <H6607> of the gate <H8179> with the six <H8337> hundred <H3967> men <H0376> [that were] appointed <H2296> with weapons <H3627> of war. <H4421>

18

And these went <H0935> into Micah's <H4318> house, <H1004> and fetched <H3947> the carved image, <H6459> the ephod, <H0646> and the teraphim, <H8655> and the molten image. <H4541> Then said <H0559> the priest <H3548> unto them, What do <H6213> ye?

19

And they said <H0559> unto him, Hold thy peace, <H2790> lay <H7760> thine hand <H3027> upon thy mouth, <H6310> and go <H3212> with us, and be to us a father <H0001> and a priest: <H3548> [is it] better <H2896> for thee to be <H1961> a priest <H3548> unto the house <H1004> of one <H0259> man, <H0376> or that thou be a priest <H3548> unto a tribe <H7626> and a family <H4940> in Israel? <H3478>

20

And the priest's <H3548> heart <H3820> was glad, <H3190> and he took <H3947> the ephod, <H0646> and the teraphim, <H8655> and the graven image, <H6459> and went in <H0935> the midst <H7130> of the people. <H5971>

21

So they turned <H6437> and departed, <H3212> and put <H7760> the little ones <H2945> and the cattle <H4735> and the carriage <H3520> before <H6440> them.

22

[And] when they were a good way <H7368> from the house <H1004> of Micah, <H4318> the men <H0582> that [were] in the houses <H1004> near to Micah's <H4318> house <H1004> were gathered together, <H2199> and overtook <H1692> the children <H1121> of Dan. <H1835>

23

And they cried <H7121> unto the children <H1121> of Dan. <H1835> And they turned <H5437> their faces, <H6440> and said <H0559> unto Micah, <H4318> What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company? <H2199>

24

And he said, <H0559> Ye have taken away <H3947> my gods <H0430> which I made, <H6213> and the priest, <H3548> and ye are gone away: <H3212> and what have I more? and what [is] this [that] ye say <H0559> unto me, What aileth thee?

25

And the children <H1121> of Dan <H1835> said <H0559> unto him, Let not thy voice <H6963> be heard <H8085> among us, lest angry <H4751> <H5315> fellows <H0582> run <H6293> upon thee, and thou lose <H0622> thy life, <H5315> with the lives <H5315> of thy household. <H1004>

26

And the children <H1121> of Dan <H1835> went <H3212> their way: <H1870> and when Micah <H4318> saw <H7200> that they [were] too strong <H2389> for him, he turned <H6437> and went back <H7725> unto his house. <H1004>

27

And they took <H3947> [the things] which Micah <H4318> had made, <H6213> and the priest <H3548> which he had, and came <H0935> unto Laish, <H3919> unto a people <H5971> [that were] at quiet <H8252> and secure: <H0982> and they smote <H5221> them with the edge <H6310> of the sword, <H2719> and burnt <H8313> the city <H5892> with fire. <H0784>

28

And [there was] no deliverer, <H5337> because it [was] far <H7350> from Zidon, <H6721> and they had no business <H1697> with [any] man; <H0120> and it was in the valley <H6010> that [lieth] by Bethrehob. <H1050> And they built <H1129> a city, <H5892> and dwelt <H3427> therein.

29

And they called <H7121> the name <H8034> of the city <H5892> Dan, <H1835> after the name <H8034> of Dan <H1835> their father, <H0001> who was born <H3205> unto Israel: <H3478> howbeit <H0199> the name <H8034> of the city <H5892> [was] Laish <H3919> at the first. <H7223>

30

And the children <H1121> of Dan <H1835> set up <H6965> the graven image: <H6459> and Jonathan, <H3083> the son <H1121> of Gershom, <H1647> the son <H1121> of Manasseh, <H4519> he and his sons <H1121> were priests <H3548> to the tribe <H7626> of Dan <H1839> until the day <H3117> of the captivity <H1540> of the land. <H0776>

31

And they set them up <H7760> Micah's <H4318> graven image, <H6459> which he made, <H6213> all the time <H3117> that the house <H1004> of God <H0430> was in Shiloh. <H7887>
