This many Danite spies went to Laish.
Five
The number of the day on which the Levite finally left his father-in-law's house.
Day Five
This was the signal between the men of Israel and the men in ambush.
A great cloud of smoke rising up out of the city.
What everyone was doing.
What was right in their own eyes.
The first person who served in Micah's "house of God."
His son.
This many armed Danites stood ready to rob Micah.
600
An alternate name for Jerusalem, a city filled with foreigners.
Jebus
This was the number of Israelites that marched against Benjamin.
400,000
This kept Israel from giving Benjamin wives.
An oath.
The cost of Micah's graven image.
200 silver pieces.
This was the Danites' original problem.
They had not yet come into an inheritance.
The city the Levite stayed in was part of this tribe.
Benjamin
The tribe God deigned should lead the charge against Benjamin.
Judah
No one from here came to the assembly at Mizpah.
Jabesh-gilead
This was the reason Micah believed he would prosper.

Father
This was the ironic way Micah identified his idols in this chapter.
"The gods that I made."
What the master of the house first offered to the people of Gibeah.
His own virgin daughter and his guest's concubine.
A curious detail for the Levite to omit from his report in vv. 4-6.
He gave them his concubine.
