John Gill Commentary Judges 18:8

"And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What [say] ye?" — Judges 18:8 (ASV)

And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol
After they had well viewed the city, and made their remarks on the inhabitants of it, the condition and circumstances in which they were, and took notice of the goodness of the land about it, they returned to their brethren that sent them, particularly those that dwelt at the two places mentioned:

and their brethren said unto them, what say you ?
what tidings do you bring? what account of the place and country where you have been?
