SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:25
Y los hijos de Dan le dijeron: No des voces tras nosotros, que por ventura los varones de ánimo colérico os acometan, y pierdas también tu vida, y la vida de los tuyos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 18:25
Verse 25. And thou lose thy life] This was argumentum ad hominem; he must put up with the loss of his substance, or else lose his life! It was the mere language of a modern highwayman: Your life or your money.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. And the children of Dan said unto him, let not thy voice be heard among us , etc.] Complaining of us as having done an unjust thing, charging and reproaching us with theft and sacrilege, insisting upon a restoration of the things taken, and abusing with odious names and characters: lest angry fellows run upon thee : lest men of bitter and passionate spirits, provoked by ill language given them, should draw their swords and fall upon thee: and thou lose thy life, and the life of thy household ; the life of himself, his family, servants, tenants, and neighbours with him, which ought to have been more precious and valuable than his gods; of which there was great danger in demanding his gods, which by this they let him know they would not part with.
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 __________________________________________________________________
