So the dead which he slew at his death were more than [they] which he slew in his life.
Judges 18:22-31 [And] when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that [were] in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan. ... And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
