Judges 18:23

‘ And they called out to the children of Dan, and they turned their faces and said to Micah, “What ails you that you come with such a company?” '

When they got near enough to the Danites Micah's force called out to them. The Danites then sent representatives to find out their purpose, pretending total innocence. They wished to give the impression that they could not understand why anyone should wish to challenge them. Their question was, what should such an obviously belligerent group want with them? What was their problem?
