Read Judges 18.11-31. In 18.11-31: Dan establishes a sanctuary. In verse 21: The most vulnerable members of the party are protected from pursuit. In verse 25: Hot-tempered fellows: Dan had a reputation for belligerence (Gen 49.17; Deut 33.22). In verse 30: Dan became a national shrine of the northern kingdom (1 Kings 12.29-30). Jonathan is presumably the previously unnamed Levite. The priestly family in charge of Dan descended from Moses. Captivity refers to the results of the Assyrian conquests (2 Kings 15.29; 17.5-6). In verse 31: The true house of God was at Shiloh (1 Sam 1-2). The illegitimate background of the sanctuary of Dan has been emphasized at every turn; pilfer silver (17.2-3), stolen illicit image (17.5-6; 18.16-18, 24), opportunistic priest (17.9; 18.19-20).
