📚 Historical Context
In the period of the Judges, the Israelite tribes were settling into the Promised Land but often faced challenges in claiming their territories, as seen with the tribe of Dan. The Danites stole idols from a man named Micah and set them up for worship, which directly disobeyed God's commands against idolatry. At the same time, the true house of God, the Tabernacle, was located in Shiloh, serving as the central place of legitimate worship for Israel.
