Hakim-hakim 1:28

1:28 Whenever Israel was strong militarily, they forced the Canaanites to do hard labor, but they never totally conquered them.

Hakim-hakim 13:12

13:12 Manoah said, “Now, when your announcement comes true, ¹  how should the child be raised and what should he do?” ² 

Hakim-hakim 18:4

18:4 He told them what Micah had done for him, saying, ³  “He hired me and I became his priest.”

[13:12]  ¹ tn Heb “Now, [when] your word comes [to pass].”

[13:12]  ² tn Heb “what will be the child’s rule [i.e., way of life] and his work?”

[18:4]  ³ tn Heb “He said to them, ‘Such and such Micah has done for me.’” Though the statement is introduced and presented, at least in part, as a direct quotation (note especially “for me”), the phrase “such and such” appears to be the narrator’s condensed version of what the Levite really said.
