SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:27
ΒΆ Y ellos llevando las cosas que había hecho Micaía, juntamente con el sacerdote que tenía, llegaron a Lais, al pueblo reposado y seguro; y los metieron a cuchillo, y abrasaron la ciudad con fuego.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 18:27
Verse 27. Unto a people-at quiet and secure] They found the report given by the spies to be correct. The people were apprehensive of no danger, and were unprepared for resistance; hence they were all put to the sword, and their city burnt up.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. And they took the things which Micah had made , etc.] The ephod, teraphim, and the two images, the Danites took them, or having taken them kept them, and went on with them: and the priest which he had ; him also they took, and who was willing enough to go with them: and came unto Laish, unto a people that were quiet and secure ; having no sentinels placed at any distance to give them warning of an enemy, nor any watchmen on their walls to discover one; and perhaps their gates not shut, nor any guard at any of their passes and avenues, having no apprehension at all of being visited by an enemy, especially from Israel, not being apprized that they had any pretensions to their city, and the land about it: and they smote them with the edge of the sword ; entered their city, and fell on them suddenly, and cut them to pieces: and burnt the city with fire ; to strike terror to all about; or it may be only they set fire to some part of it, as they entered, only to frighten the inhabitants, and throw them into the greater confusion, that they might become a more easy prey to them; for their intention was to inhabit it, and it seems to be the same city still, though they rebuilt it, and called it by another name.
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 __________________________________________________________________
