Clarke's Judges 18:21 Bible Commentary
The little ones and the cattle, etc. - These men were so confident of success that they removed their whole families, household goods, cattle, and all.
And the carriage - כבודה kebudah, their substance, precious things, or valuables; omne quod erat pretiosum, Vulgate: or rather the luggage or baggage; what Caesar calls in his commentaries impedimenta; and what the Septuagint here translate βαρος, weight or baggage. We are not to suppose that any wheel carriage is meant.
Barnes's Judges 18:21 Bible Commentary
And put the little ones, etc., before them - They expected a pursuit from Micah's people, and arranged their order of march accordingly.
The carriage - Rather, "the valuables." Some interpret it "the heavy baggage."
Wesley's Judges 18:21 Bible Commentary
18:21 Before them - For their greater security, if Micah should pursue them.
