SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:3
Y cuando estaban cerca de la casa de Micaía, reconocieron el acento de la voz del joven levita; y llegándose allá, le dijeron: ¿Quién te ha traído por acá? ¿Y qué haces aquí? ¿Y qué tienes tú por aquí?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 18:3
Verse 3. They knew the voice of the young man] They knew, by his dialect or mode of pronunciation, that he was not an Ephraimite. We have already seen (chap. xii. 6) that the Ephraimites could not pronounce certain letters. See the note there.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. When they were by the house of Micah , etc.] At their inn, which might be next to it, or as they were passing by it: they knew the voice of the young man the Levite ; who had been in their country, and they had been in his company and conversation, and they knew the tone of his voice when they heard it; a particular brogue he might have. Abarbinel conjectures, that he was singing to Micah’s idol, or multiplying his prayers before him: and they turned in thither ; into Micah’s house, and into the apartment where the young man was; and said unto him, who brought thee hither ? they knew he was of Bethlehemjudah; they inquire therefore how he came there, who sent for him, and by what means he was brought to that place: and what makest thou in this place ? they knew he was a Levite, and that such an one had no business to minister but at the tabernacle, and therefore they inquire what was his employment here: and what hast thou here? to support himself with, what he had for his maintenance, or how he lived.
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 __________________________________________________________________
