Exegesis
The linked clause ubayyamim {וּבַיָּמִים | ū-ba-yāmîm} ‘and in days’ parallels the first temporal frame, introducing the Piel participle mevaqqeslo {מְבַקֶּשׁ־לוֹ | mə-vaq-qēš-lō} ‘seeking for itself’, which conveys an ongoing action.
In context — Judges 18:1
In that era there was no king in Israel, and the Danite tribe was looking for its own inheritance to live in, because up to that time no inheritance had been assigned to them among the tribes of Israel.
