22. They had travelled a good distance from the house when Micah called his neighbours out for battle. They caught up with the men from Dan
23. and shouted at them. The men from Dan turned round and asked Micah, “What's the matter? Why all this mob?”
24. Micah answered, “What do you mean, ‘What's the matter?’ You take my priest and the gods that I made, and walk off! What have I got left?”
25. The men from Dan said, “You had better not say anything else unless you want these men to get angry and attack you. Then you and your whole family would die.”
26. Then they went on. Micah saw that they were too strong for him, so he turned and went back home.
