 17Y subiendo los cinco hombres que habían ido á reconocer la tierra, entraron allá, y tomaron la imagen de talla, y el ephod, y el teraphim, y la imagen de fundición, mientras estaba el sacerdote á la entrada de la puerta con los seiscientos hombres armados de armas de guerra. (Jue. 18:14,17)

a pillow.Rather, "the net-work of goat's hair at its (the Teraphim's) pillow;"
for the {kevir,} (whence the Chaldee and Syriac {kavreetho,} a honey-comb, from its net-like form), seems to have been a kind of mosquito-net, which, says Dr. Shaw, is "a close curtain of gauze, used all over the East, by people of fashion, to keep out the flies."
That they had such anciently cannot be doubted.
Thus when Judith had beheaded Holofernes in his bed, (ch. 13:9, 15) "she pulled down the canopy (or the mosquito net, [
,] from [
,] a gnat, or mosquito, whence our word canopy) wherein he did lie in his drunkenness, from the pillars."
• Certainly, David did not worship it, but its presence allows us to conclude that he put up with it. The teraphim was not an idol, properly speaking, and the Word is careful to distinguish the one from the other. (See Hos. 3:4; Zech. 10:2; 1 Sam. 15:22, 23; 2 Kings 23:24; Ezek. 21:21; Gen. 31:19, 30, 32-35; Judges 17:3-5; 18:17, 18, 20 ). The image (teraphim) is somewhat inferior to the idol; it is a sort of demi-god whose domain is the household; it is clothed with a certain importance, and is even consulted on occasion. Such superstitions quickly lead to true idols; this is exactly how Jacob judged the matter, when he told Laban to take back his gods (Gen. 31:32). Often the believer lacks the energy to banish these occasions of stumbling from his family, and each one of us must be earnestly mindful of this even though, like Jacob and David, we may not personally attribute to them any influence over our life. The image had evidently been introduced into David’s household by Michal, Saul’s daughter, who was thus a snare to the man of God. (“1 Samuel 19” by H.L. Rossier)
