A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
the Spirit of the Lord began to move him at times--not, probably, as it moved the prophets, who were charged with an inspired message, but kindling in his youthful bosom a spirit of high and devoted patriotism.

Eshtaol--the free city. It, as well as Zorah, stood on the border between Judah and Dan.

23 And [1161] when [5613] he [846] was full [4137] forty years [5063] old [5550], it came [305] into [1909] his [846] heart [2588] to visit [1980] his [846] brethren [80] the children [5207] of Israel [2474].
24 And [2532] seeing [1492] one [5100] of them suffer wrong [91], he defended [292] him, and [2532] avenged [1557] [4160] him that was oppressed [2669], and smote [3960] the Egyptian [124]:
25 For [1161] he supposed [3543] his [846] brethren [80] would have understood [4920] how [3754] that God [2316] by [1223] his [846] hand [5495] would deliver [1325] [4991] them [846]: but [1161] they understood [4920] not [3756].
30 And Samson [08123] said [0559], Let me die [04191] [05315] with the Philistines [06430]. And he bowed [05186] himself with all his might [03581]; and the house [01004] fell [05307] upon the lords [05633], and upon all the people [05971] that were therein. So the dead [04191] which he slew [04191] at his death [04194] were more [07227] than they which he slew [04191] in his life [02416].
14 And when he came [0935] unto Lehi [03896], the Philistines [06430] shouted [07321] against [07125] him: and the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] came mightily [06743] upon him, and the cords [05688] that were upon his arms [02220] became as flax [06593] that was burnt [01197] with fire [0784], and his bands [0612] loosed [04549] from off his hands [03027].
6 And the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] came mightily [06743] upon him, and he rent [08156] him as he would have rent [08156] a kid [01423], and he had nothing [03972] in his hand [03027]: but he told [05046] not his father [01] or his mother [0517] what he had done [06213].
31 Then his brethren [0251] and all the house [01004] of his father [01] came down [03381], and took [05375] him, and brought him up [05927], and buried [06912] him between Zorah [06881] and Eshtaol [0847] in the buryingplace [06913] of Manoah [04495] his father [01]. And he judged [08199] Israel [03478] twenty [06242] years [08141].
33 And in the valley [08219], Eshtaol [0847], and Zoreah [06881], and Ashnah [0823],
12 And they went up [05927], and pitched [02583] in Kirjathjearim [07157], in Judah [03063]: wherefore they called [07121] that place [04725] Mahanehdan [04265] unto this day [03117]: behold, it is behind [0310] Kirjathjearim [07157].
11 And there went [05265] from thence of the family [04940] of the Danites [01839], out of Zorah [06881] and out of Eshtaol [0847], six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376] appointed [02296] with weapons [03627] of war [04421].
12 And they went up [05927], and pitched [02583] in Kirjathjearim [07157], in Judah [03063]: wherefore they called [07121] that place [04725] Mahanehdan [04265] unto this day [03117]: behold, it is behind [0310] Kirjathjearim [07157].
2 And there was a certain [0259] man [0376] of Zorah [06881], of the family [04940] of the Danites [01839], whose name [08034] was Manoah [04495]; and his wife [0802] was barren [06135], and bare [03205] not.
13 And they passed [05674] thence unto mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], and came [0935] unto the house [01004] of Micah [04318].
14 Then answered [06030] the five [02568] men [0582] that went [01980] to spy out [07270] the country [0776] of Laish [03919], and said [0559] unto their brethren [0251], Do ye know [03045] that there is [03426] in these houses [01004] an ephod [0646], and teraphim [08655], and a graven image [06459], and a molten image [04541]? now therefore consider [03045] what ye have to do [06213].
15 And they turned [05493] thitherward, and came [0935] to the house [01004] of the young man [05288] the Levite [03881], even unto the house [01004] of Micah [04318], and saluted [07592] [07965] him.
16 And the six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376] appointed [02296] with their weapons [03627] of war [04421], which were of the children [01121] of Dan [01835], stood [05324] by the entering [06607] of the gate [08179].
17 And the five [02568] men [0582] that went [01980] to spy out [07270] the land [0776] went up [05927], and came in [0935] thither, and took [03947] the graven image [06459], and the ephod [0646], and the teraphim [08655], and the molten image [04541]: and the priest [03548] stood [05324] in the entering [06607] of the gate [08179] with the six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376] that were appointed [02296] with weapons [03627] of war [04421].
18 And these went [0935] into Micah's [04318] house [01004], and fetched [03947] the carved image [06459], the ephod [0646], and the teraphim [08655], and the molten image [04541]. Then said [0559] the priest [03548] unto them, What do [06213] ye?
19 And they said [0559] unto him, Hold thy peace [02790], lay [07760] thine hand [03027] upon thy mouth [06310], and go [03212] with us, and be to us [01961] a father [01] and a priest [03548]: is it better [02896] for thee to be a priest [03548] unto the house [01004] of one [0259] man [0376], or that thou be a priest [03548] unto a tribe [07626] and a family [04940] in Israel [03478]?
20 And the priest's [03548] heart [03820] was glad [03190], and he took [03947] the ephod [0646], and the teraphim [08655], and the graven image [06459], and went in [0935] the midst [07130] of the people [05971].
