Judges 18:2 in Context — Judges 18

1 En ce temps-là, il n’y avait point de roi en Israël; et la tribu des Danites se cherchait une possession pour s’établir, car jusqu’à ce jour il ne lui était point échu d’héritage au milieu des tribus d’Israël.

2 Les fils de Dan prirent sur eux tous, parmi leurs familles, cinq hommes vaillants, qu’ils envoyèrent de Tsorea et d’Eschthaol, pour explorer le pays et pour l’examiner. Ils leur dirent: Allez, examinez le pays. Ils arrivèrent dans la montagne d’Éphraïm jusqu’à la maison de Mica, et ils y passèrent la nuit.

3 Comme ils étaient près de la maison de Mica, ils reconnurent la voix du jeune Lévite, s’approchèrent et lui dirent: Qui t’a amené ici? Que fais-tu dans ce lieu? Et qu’as-tu ici?

4 Il leur répondit: Mica fait pour moi telle et telle chose, il me donne un salaire, et je lui sers de prêtre.
