20:37 Drew along - Or, extended themselves; whereas before they lay close and contracted into a narrow compass, now they spread themselves, and marched in rank and file as armies do.

MHC:

17:7-13 Micah thought it was a sign of God's favour to him and his images, that a Levite should come to his door.
