Micah protests

22When they had gone some distance from Micah’s house, the men who were in the houses near Micah’s house were called together, and they overtook the sons of Dan.

23They called out to the sons of Dan, and they turned around and said to Micah, “What is the matter with you, that you have called out?”

24He said, “You have taken my gods that I made, and the priest, and you have gone away. What do I have left now? So how can you say to me, ‘What is the matter with you?’”

25And the sons of Dan said to him, “Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest men bitter of soul fall upon you, and you lose your life and the lives of your household.”

26Then the sons of Dan went on their way, and Micah saw that they were stronger than he was, so he turned and went back to his house.
