Judges 18:5 Context
3When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the yong man the Leuite: and they turned in thither, & said vnto him, Who brought thee hither? And what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here? 4And hee said vnto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his Priest. 5And they sayd vnto him, Aske counsell, we pray thee, of God, that we may know, whether our way which we goe, shall be prosperous. 6And the Priest said vnto them, Goe in peace: before the Lord is your way wherein ye goe. 7¶ Then the fiue men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt carelesse, after the maner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure, and there was no magistrate in the land that might put them to shame in any thing, and they were farre from the Zidonians, and had no businesse with any man.
