Well, the medrash has it that he was excluded by sheivet Dan and told to
live among the eirev rav, because sheivet is patrilineal. No nachalah,
therefore he doesn't travel under their degel. MRAH and his beis din side
with the Danites -- and that's what angers the ben ish Mitzri enough to
curse G-d. Given the BD approval, it must have been correct.

But in the original post (on Areivim) I wasn't talking about the rejection
in the immediate cause of his downfall. I was talking about the rest of
his life until then.

Tir'u baTov!
