And so they went on the journey they had begun. But Michas seeing that they were stronger than he, returned to his house.

Then the Danites went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his home.

And the children of Dan departed: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.

and the sons of Dan go on their way, and Micah seeth that they are stronger than he, and turneth, and goeth back unto his house.

Then the children of Dan went on their way; and when Micah saw that they were stronger than he, he went back to his house.

And so, they continued on the journey that they had begun. But Micah, seeing that they were stronger than he was, returned to his house.

And the children of Daniel went their way,.... Went on their way, would not stay to have any further talk with him, as being an impertinent man, and unworthy of their regard, bidding him defiance, and do his worst, having nothing to fear from him:
and when Micah saw they were too strong for him; that he could not prevail upon them by words and arguments; to take up arms, and use them, he perceived it was to no purpose, since they were more numerous and more mighty than he and his neighbours:
he turned and went unto his own house; and if he returned from his idolatry to the true God, and the right worship of him, having lost his gods, it was well for him they were taken away.

Then the Danites went their way; but Micah, seeing that they were stronger than he, turned back and returned home.
