Jg. 18: Lunacy Compounds

Judges 18:31 "They continued to use the idols Micah had made, all the time the house of God was in Shiloh."

The Danites, who had not yet taken their inheritance took the idols Micah had made as their own. Micah's priest became their priest. Because of this misguided devotion to "God," Dan took possession of the land of and slaughtered a people ("unsuspecting") who otherwise may have been allowed to exist, peaceably.

It just compounds. This started from one guy whose theology was off a bit, and from there, it ended up ruining a people, and compounding the misdirection of an entire tribe. How easy was it going to be to get this mess turned around?
