And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee?

Verse 24 is found in chapter 18 of Judges. The Danites escape with the objects and threaten Micah when he tries to recover them. They then conquer Laish, destroy it, and rebuild it as Dan. They establish the stolen image there and keep the Levite as priest. The narrative connects Dan’s territorial expansion with an illicit religious practice, showing that territorial success is not evidence of divine approval.

Er antwortete: Ihr habt meine Götter genommen, die ich gemacht hatte, und den Priester und ziehet hin; und was habe ich nun mehr? Und ihr fragt noch, was mir fehle?
Y él respondió: Mis dioses que yo hice, que lleváis juntamente con el sacerdote, y os vais: ¿qué más me queda? ¿y a qué propósito me decís: Qué tienes?
Él respondió: «Han tomado los dioses que hice y al sacerdote, y se van. ¿Qué me queda? ¿Cómo pueden preguntarme qué me pasa?».
Il répondit: Mes dieux que j'avais faits, vous les avez enlevés avec le prêtre et vous êtes partis: que me reste-t-il? Comment donc pouvez-vous me dire: Qu'as-tu?
Ed egli disse: Voi avete presi i miei dii, che io avea fatti, e il sacerdote, e ve ne siete andati via. Che mi resta egli più? E come dunque mi dite voi: Che hai?
Então ele disse: Os meus deuses, que eu fiz, me tomastes, juntamente com o sacerdote, e partistes; que mais me resta agora? Como, pois, me dizeis: Que é que tens?
米迦 說:「你們把我所造的神像,還有祭司,都帶走了,我還有甚麼呢?你怎麼還對我說『你在做甚麼』呢?」
