Context — The Journey of the Danitesgenerated
Judges 18:22 describes how, after leaving Micah's house, the Danites were pursued by the men from nearby houses. This moment highlights the conflict and tension as the Danites sought to establish themselves in their new territory, as seen in the broader narrative of Judges 18, where the tribe of Dan is searching for a place to settle.
Cross References
The Key Word — נִֽזְעֲק֔וּ, niz.'a.Kugenerated
The verb זָעַק (za`aq) is a Niphal perfect form, indicating that the action of calling out was performed by the subject (the men in the houses). This word means to cry out or call for help, often in a context of urgency or distress. It is used here to signify the mobilization of the men as they reacted to the Danites' departure.
In this context, the verb emphasizes the urgency of the situation, as the men not only called out but also gathered together in response to the Danites. The action reflects their concern and desire to confront the departing group, illustrating the communal aspect of their response.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is הִרְחִ֖יקוּ, they had gone far away, which governs the entire clause. The structure consists of a series of actions: the Danites moving away, the men in the houses responding, and the pursuit that follows.
The sentence flows logically from the Danites' departure to the mobilization and overtaking, with each action building on the previous one. The use of prepositional phrases adds detail about the location and relationships involved.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew נִֽזְעֲק֔וּ is rendered as ἐβόησαν, which means 'they cried out.' This choice reflects a direct translation of the urgency and call to action present in the Hebrew text.
The Greek translation captures the essence of the Hebrew verb, emphasizing the communal response of the men as they reacted to the Danites' movement.

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

A shortened form of Micaiah, who is like Jehovah? (1.) A man of Mount Ephraim, whose history so far is introduced in Judg. 17, apparently for the purpose of leading to an account of the settlement of the tribe of Dan in Northern Palestine, and for the purpose also of illustrating the lawlessness of the times in which he lived (Judg. 18; 19:1-29; 21:25).

Micah is evidently a devout believers in Jehovah, and yet so completely ignorant is he of the law of Jehovah that the mode which he adopts of honoring him is to make a molten and graven image, teraphim or images of domestic gods, and to set up an unauthorized priesthood, first in his own family, (Judges 17:5) and then in the person of a Levite not of the priestly line. ver.

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

A judge. (1.) The fifth son of Jacob. His mother was Bilhah, Rachel’s maid (Gen. 30:6, “God hath judged me”, Heb. dananni). The blessing pronounced on him by his father was, “Dan shall judge his people” (49:16), probably in allusion to the judgeship of Samson, who was of the tribe of Dan.

A judge,
1. A son of Jacob by Bilhah, Ge 30:3 35:25. The tribe of Dan was second only to that of Judah in numbers before entering Canaan, Nu 1:39 26:43. A portion was assigned to Dan, extending southeast from the seacoast near Joppa. It bordered on the land of the Philistines, with whom the tribe of Dan had much to do, Jud 13:1-16:31. Their territory was fertile, but small, and the natives were powerful. A part of the tribe therefore sought and conquered another home, Jos 19:1-51 Jud 18:1-31
