Judges 18:8

And they came to their brothers in Zorah and Eshtaol [in the Lowlands], and their brothers asked them, "What have you ...?"
[Here the Hebrew has the concise ma attem. Both the verb and possibly more words are missing. Common phrases could have been "What do you have to tell us?" (cf. 1 Sam. 10:15; 16:10) or "What do you recommend we do" (cf. 2 Sam. 21:4). The wording shows that either they are so eager to hear what the spies have to say that they ask the shortest possible question, or the spies are so eager to tell that they interrupt before the question has even been asked. Based on the answer in the next verse, the latter is most likely.]
