SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:21
Y ellos tornaron y se fueron; y pusieron los niños, y el ganado y el bagaje, delante de sí.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 18:21
Verse 21. The little ones and the cattle, &c.] These men were so confident of success that they removed their whole families, household goods, cattle, and all. And the carriage] hdwbk kebudah, their substance, precious things, or valuables; omne quod erat pretiosum, VULGATE: or rather the luggage or baggage; what Caesar calls in his commentaries impedimenta; and what the Septuagint here translate barov, weight or baggage. We are not to suppose that any wheel carriage is meant.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. So they turned and departed , etc.] Turned from the gate of the city where Micah dwelt, and marched forward to Laish: and put the little ones, and the cattle, and the carriage, before them ; partly for safety from Micah, and his friends and neighbours, and partly that they might not be overdriven: their wives, who doubtless were with them, though not mentioned, and their children, and also their flocks and herds, they brought with them from Zorah and Eshtaol, as never intending to return again thither, and being fully assured they should take Laish, and the country about, and settle there; and also all their wealth and substance, as the Targum renders the word for “carriage”, whatever they were possessed of that was movable; their vessels, silver and gold, and other movables, as Kimchi interprets it, whatever was weighty, valuable and glorious, as the word signifies, or that was of any importance and worth.
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 __________________________________________________________________
