QUOTE : These two chapters give us a great example of the banality of evil. Evil does not usually make people incredibly wicked and violent— that would be interesting, and tends to wake people up. Rather, sin tends to make us hollow— externally proper and even nice, but underneath everyone is scraping and clutching for power, in order to get ahead. We continually just step on each other, as Micah was stepped on by the Danites and his Levite. But after all, he had tried to rob his own mother before these men came and robbed him.
