Wesley's Notes for Judges 18:4

18:2 There - Not in the same house, but near it.

18:3 Knew - By the acquaintance which some of them formerly had with him.

18:5 Ask - By thine Ephod, and Teraphim, or images, which they knew he had, ver.#14|.

18:6 Before the Lord - That is, your design is under the eye of God; that is, under his care, protection and direction. This answer he either feigns to gratify their humour; or, did indeed receive from the devil, who transformed himself into an angel of light, and in God's name gave him answers, and those not sometimes very true, which God suffered for the trial of his people. But it is observable, his answer was, as the devil's oracles usually were, ambiguous, and such as might have been interpreted either way.
