Read Judges 18.11-31
In verses 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 92 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: pilfered silver (17.2-3), stolen illicit image (17.5-6; 18.16-18,24), opportunistic priest (17.9;18.19-20).
