| Judges 18:1
| In those days there was no king in Israel, and the tribe of Dan sought them an inheritance to dwell in: for unto that day they had not received their lot among the other tribes.
| Days, after the death of Josue and the ancients. Debbora speaks of the tribe of Dan, as addicted to navigation, Judges 5:17. (Calmet) --- It had now conquered most of the enemies who had formerly forced some to seek fresh settlements, (Haydock) as it is hinted at, Josue xix. The particulars are here given in detail. (Calmet) --- Received, etc. They had their portions assigned them, Josue 19:40. But through their own sloth, possessed as yet but a small part of it. See Judges 1:34. (Challoner; Worthington) --- Protestants supply, "all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel." (Haydock)
