Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god； and to rejoice： for they said； Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand。
16：24众人看见参孙，就赞美他们的神说，我们的神将毁坏我们地，杀害我们许多人的仇敌交在我们手中了。
And when the people saw him； they praised their god： for they said； Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy； and the destroyer of our country； which slew many of us。
16：25他们正宴乐的时候，就说，叫参孙来，在我们面前戏耍戏耍。于是将参孙从监里提出来，他就在众人面前戏耍。他们使他站在两柱中间。
And it came to pass； when their hearts were merry； that they said； Call for Samson； that he may make us sport。 And they called for Samson out of the prison house； and he made them sport： and they set him between the pillars。
16：26参孙向拉他手的童子说，求你让我摸着托房的柱子，我要靠一靠。
And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand； Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth； that I may lean upon them。
16：27那时房内充满男女，非利士人的众首领也都在那里。房的平顶上约有三千男女，观看参孙戏耍。
Now the house was full of men and women； and all the lords of the Philistines were there； and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women； that beheld while Samson made sport。
16：28参孙求告耶和华说，主耶和华阿，求你眷念我。神阿，求你赐我这一次的力量，使我在非利士人身上报那剜我双眼的仇。
And Samson called unto the LORD； and said； O Lord God； remember me； I pray thee； and strengthen me； I pray thee； only this once； O God； that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes。
16：29参孙就抱住托房的那两根柱子，左手抱一根，右手抱一根，
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood； and on which it was borne up； of the one with his right hand； and of the other with his left。
16：30说，我情愿与非利士人同死。就尽力屈身，房子倒塌，压住首领和房内的众人。这样，参孙死时所杀的人，比活着所杀的还多。
And Samson said； Let me die with the Philistines。 And he bowed himself with all his might； and the house fell upon the lords； and upon all the people that were therein。 So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life。
16：31参孙的弟兄和他父的全家，都下去取他的尸首，抬上来葬在琐拉和以实陶中间，在他父玛挪亚的坟墓里。参孙作以色列的士师二十年。
Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down； and took him； and brought him up； and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father。 And he judged Israel twenty years。

17：1以法莲山地有一个人名叫米迦。
And there was a man of mount Ephraim； whose name was Micah。
17：2他对母亲说，你那一千一百舍客勒银子被人拿去，你因此咒诅，并且告诉了我。看哪。这银子在我这里，是我拿去了。他母亲说，我儿阿，愿耶和华赐福与你。
And he said unto his mother； The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee； about which thou cursedst； and spakest of also in mine ears； behold； the silver is with me； I took it。 And his mother said； Blessed be thou of the LORD； my son。
17：3米迦就把这一千一百舍客勒银子还他母亲。他母亲说，我分出这银子来为你献给耶和华，好雕刻一个像，铸成一个像。现在我还是交给你。
And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother； his mother said； I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son； to make a graven image and a molten image： now therefore I will restore it unto thee。
17：4米迦将银子还他母亲，他母亲将二百舍客勒银子交给银匠，雕刻一个像，铸成一个像，安置在米迦的屋内。
Yet he restored the money unto his mother； and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver； and gave them to the founder； who made thereof a graven image and a molten image： and they were in the house of Micah。
17：5这米迦有了神堂，又制造以弗得和家中的神像，分派他一个儿子作祭司。
And the man Micah had an house of gods； and made an ephod； and teraphim； and consecrated one of his sons； who became his priest。
17：6那时以色列中没有王，各人任意而行。
In those days there was no king in Israel； but every man did that which was right in his own eyes。
17：7犹大的伯利恒有一个少年人，是犹大族的利未人，他在那里寄居。
And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah； who was a Levite； and he sojourned there。
17：8这人离开犹大的伯利恒城，要找一个可住的地方。行路的时候，到了以法莲山地，走到米迦的家。
And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place： and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah； as he journeyed。
17：9米迦问他说，你从哪里来。他回答说，从犹大的伯利恒来。我是利未人，要找一个可住的地方。
And Micah said unto him； Whence est thou？ And he said unto him； I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah； and I go to sojourn where I may find a place。
17：10米迦说，你可以住在我这里，我以你为父，为祭司。我每年给你十舍客勒银子，一套衣服和度日的食物。利未人就进了他的家。
And Micah said unto him； Dwell with me； and be unto me a father and a priest； and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year； and a suit of apparel； and thy victuals。 So the Levite went in。
17：11利未人情愿与那人同住。那人看这少年人如自己的儿子一样。
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man； and the young man was unto him as one of his sons。
17：12米迦分派这少年的利未人作祭司，他就住在米迦的家里。
And Micah consecrated the Levite； and the young man became his priest； and was in the house of Micah。
17：13米迦说，现在我知道耶和华必赐福与我，因我有一个利未人作祭司。
Then said Micah； Now know I that the LORD will do me good； seeing I have a Levite to my priest。

18：1那时，以色列中没有王。但支派的人仍是寻地居住。因为到那日子，他们还没有在以色列支派中得地为业。
In those days there was no king in Israel： and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in； for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel。
18：2但人从琐拉和以实陶打发本族中的五个勇士，去仔细窥探那地，吩咐他们说，你们去窥探那地。他们来到以法莲山地，进了米迦的住宅，就在那里住宿。
And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts； men of valour； from Zorah； and from Eshtaol； to spy out the land； and to search it； and they said unto them； Go； search the land： who when they came to mount Ephraim； to the house of Micah； they lodged there。
18：3他们临近米迦的住宅，听出那少年利未人的口音来，就进去问他说，谁领你到这里来。你在这里作什么。你在这里得什么。
When they were by the house of Micah； they knew the voice of the young man the Levite： and they turned in thither； and said unto him； Who brought thee hither？ and what makest thou in this place？ and what hast thou here？
18：4他回答说，米迦待我如此如此，请我作祭司。
And he said unto them； Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me； and hath hired me； and I am his priest。
18：5他们对他说，请你求问神，使我们知道所行的道路通达不通达。
And they said unto him； Ask counsel； we pray thee； of God； that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous。
18：6祭司对他们说，你们可以平平安安地去，你们所行的道路是在耶和华面前的。
And the priest said unto them； Go in peace： before the LORD is your way wherein ye go。
18：7五人就走了，来到拉亿，见那里的民安居无虑，如同西顿人安居一样。在那地没有人掌权扰乱他们。他们离西顿人也远，与别人没有来往。
Then the five men departed； and came to Laish； and saw the people that were therein； how they dwelt careless； after the manner of the Zidonians； quiet and secure； and there was no magistrate in the land； that might put them to shame in any thing； and they were far from the Zidonians； and had no business with any man。
18：8五人回到琐拉和以实陶，见他们的弟兄。弟兄问他们说，你们有什么话。
And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol： and their brethren said unto them； What say ye？
18：9他们回答说，起来，我们上去攻击他们吧。我们已经窥探那地，见那地甚好。你们为何静坐不动呢。要急速前往得那地为业，不可迟延。
And they said； Arise； that we may go up against them： for we have seen the land； and； behold； it is very good： and are ye still？ be not slothful to go； and to enter to possess the land。
18：10你们到了那里，必看见安居无虑的民，地也宽阔。神已将那地交在你们手中。那地百物俱全，一无所缺。
When ye go； ye shall e unto a people secure； and to a large land： for God hath given it into your hands； a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth。
18：11于是但族中的六百人，各带兵器，从琐拉和以实陶前往，
And there went from thence of the family of the Danites； out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol； six hundred men appointed with weapons of war。
18：12上到犹大的基列耶琳，在基列耶琳后边安营。因此那地方名叫玛哈尼但，直到今日。
And they went up； and pitched in Kirjathjearim； in Judah： wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day： behold； it is behind Kirjathjearim。
18：13他们从那里往以法莲山地去，来到米迦的住宅。
And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim； and came unto the house of Micah。
18：14从前窥探拉亿地的五个人对他们的弟兄说，这宅子里有以弗得和家中的神像，并雕刻的像与铸成的像，你们知道吗。现在你们要想一想当怎样行。
Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish； and said unto their brethren； Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod； and teraphim； and a graven image； and a molten image？ now therefore consider what ye have to do。
18：15五人就进入米迦的住宅，到了那少年利未人的房内问他好。
And they turned thitherward； and came to the house of the young man the Levite； even unto the house of Micah； and saluted him。
18：16那六百但人各带兵器，站在门口。
And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war； which were of the children of Dan； stood by the entering of the gate。
18：17窥探地的五个人走进去，将雕刻的像，以弗得，家中的神像，并铸成的像，都拿了去。祭司和带兵器的六百人，一同站在门口。
And the five men that went to spy out the land went up； and came in thither； and took the graven image； and the ephod； and the teraphim； and the molten image： and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war。
18：18那五个人进入米迦的住宅，拿出雕刻的像，以弗得，家中的神像，并铸成的像，祭司就问他们说，你们作什么呢。
And these w
