Judges 18:13-20
Verse 14 Consider what ye have to do - They probably had formed the design to carry off the priest and his sacred utensils. Verse 18 These went unto Micah's house - The five men went in, while the six hundred armed men stood at the gate. Verse 19 Lay thine hand upon thy mouth - This was the token of silence. The god of silence, Harpocrates, is represented on ancient statues with his finger pressed on his lips. Verse 20 Went to the midst of the people - He was glad to be employed by the Danites; and went into the crowd, that he might not be discovered by Micah or his family.
