18:18-21
The priest asked them what they were doing. They told him to shut up, and invited him to be their priest, saying it was better to be the priest for a tribe, than for just one man. The priest gladly accepted the offer. So we see that he was a priest for hire. We also see that religion was effectively treated as a matter of “good luck charms”, there was no genuine trust in the Lord. We need to be careful that we too do not end up treating religious practices as good luck charms. The key to avoiding this is to have a genuine love and faith in the Lord.
18:22-26
Micah wasn’t too happy about the turn of events, and went after the Danites with the men who lived near him. The Danites asked him what the problem was, and Micah replied that it should be obvious what the problem was! The Danites threaten him and he decides to just go back home, as he was easily outnumbered.
