SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:12
fueron y asentaron campamento en Quiriat-jearim, en Judá; de donde aquel lugar fue llamado el campamento de Dan, hasta hoy; está detrás de Quiriat-jearim.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 18:12
Verse 12. Mahaneh-dan] "The camp of Dan;" so called from the circumstance of this armament encamping there. See Judges xiii. 25, which affords some proof that this transaction was previous to the days of Samson.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And they went up and pitched in Kirjathjearim in Judah , etc.] Of which place (see Joshua 15:9,60). According to Bunting it was sixteen miles from Zorah and Eshtaol, and this was their first day’s march: wherefore they called the name of that place Mahanehdan unto this day ; which signifies the camp of Dan, or of the Danites; so it was called in the times of Samson, ( Judges 13:25) and is a proof that this expedition was before his time; and it was so called, it seems, in the time of Samuel, the writer of this book: behold, it is behind Kirjathjearim ; to the west of it; for though they are said to pitch in that place, the meaning is, that they pitched near it, in the fields adjacent to it, which were the most proper and convenient for a camp.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The Danites seek to enlarge their inheritance, and rob Micah. --The Danites determined to take Micah's gods with them. Oh the foll of these Danites! How could they imagine those gods should protec them, that could not keep themselves from being stolen! To take the for their own use, was a double crime; it showed they neither feare God, nor regarded man, but were lost both to godliness and honesty What a folly was it for Micah to call those his gods, which he ha made, when He only is to be worshipped by us as God, that made us! Tha is put in God's place, which we are concerned about, as if our all wer bound up in it. If people will walk in the name of their false gods much more should we love and serve the true God __________________________________________________________________
