What Does Judges 18:15 Mean?
The five men turn toward the dwelling of the young Levite within Micah's house and greet him courteously. The friendly salute masks the purpose forming behind it.
The greeting is the opening move of a calculated plan. Outward politeness covers an intent to strip the shrine and lure away its priest. Scripture often shows how warm words can clothe cold designs, and it teaches the reader to look past the surface of a greeting to the heart that gives it, remembering that the Lord weighs the spirit behind every courtesy.
