  • Judg 1:34-35 : 34 The Amorites pressed the people of Dan into the hill country, not allowing them to come down to the valley. 35 The Amorites were determined to remain in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim.

  • Judg 18:1-9 : 1 In those days, Israel had no king, and during that period, the tribe of Dan was looking for a place to settle because they had not yet received an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. 2 The Danites sent five men from their clans, strong and valiant men from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and explore it. They said to them, 'Go and explore the land.' When they came to the hill country of Ephraim, to Micah's house, they stayed there for the night. 3 As they were near Micah's house, they recognized the voice of the young Levite. They turned aside and said to him, 'Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? And what is your purpose here?' 4 He said to them, 'Micah did such and such for me. He hired me, and I became his priest.' 5 They said to him, 'Please inquire of God so that we may know whether our journey will be successful.' 6 The priest replied to them, 'Go in peace. The LORD is watching over your journey.' 7 The five men left and came to Laish. They saw that the people there were living in security, like the Sidonians—peaceful and unsuspecting. No one in the land was oppressing them or causing harm. They lived far from the Sidonians and had no relationship with any other people. 8 When they returned to their brothers in Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers asked them, 'What do you report?' 9 They said, 'Let us go up against them, for we have seen the land and it is very good. Why are you hesitating? Do not delay in going to take possession of the land!' 10 When you arrive, you will find a secure and unsuspecting people. The land is spacious, for God has given it into your hands—a place lacking nothing that is good. 11 So six hundred men from the Danite clan left Zorah and Eshtaol, armed with weapons for battle. 12 They went up and encamped in Kiriath-jearim in Judah. That is why to this day the place is called Mahaneh Dan (the camp of Dan), located west of Kiriath-jearim. 13 From there they continued on to the hill country of Ephraim and arrived at Micah's house. 14 Then the five men who had gone to scout out the land of Laish said to their fellow Danites, 'Do you know that in these houses there's an ephod, household gods, a carved image, and a cast idol? Now think about what you should do.' 15 So they turned aside there and went to the house of the young Levite, at Micah's house, and asked him how he was doing. 16 The six hundred men of the Danites, armed with their weapons of war, were standing at the entrance of the gate. 17 The five men who had gone to scout the land went inside and took the carved image, the ephod, the household gods, and the cast idol, while the priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred armed men. 18 When they entered Micah's house and took the carved image, the ephod, the household gods, and the cast idol, the priest said to them, 'What are you doing?' 19 They answered him, 'Be quiet! Put your hand over your mouth and come with us. Be a father and a priest to us. Isn’t it better for you to be a priest for a tribe and a clan in Israel rather than for one man's household?' 20 The priest was glad in his heart. He took the ephod, the household gods, and the carved image and went along with the people. 21 They turned and left, placing the children, the livestock, and their goods in front of them. 22 When they had gone some distance from Micah’s house, the men who lived near Micah gathered together and overtook the Danites. 23 They called out to the Danites, who turned to face them, and said to Micah, 'What’s the matter with you, that you have called your men together?' 24 Micah replied, 'You’ve taken my gods that I made and my priest and gone away! What else do I have? How can you ask me, “What’s the matter with you?”' 25 The Danites said to him, 'Don’t raise your voice with us, or some bitter-tempered men might attack you, and you and your family could lose your lives.' 26 So the Danites continued on their way, and when Micah saw that they were stronger than he was, he turned and went back to his house. 27 The Danites took what Micah had made, along with his priest, and came to Laish, to a peaceful and unsuspecting people. They struck them down with the sword and burned the city with fire. 28 There was no one to rescue the people of Laish because they were far from Sidon and had no alliances with anyone. The city was situated in a valley near Beth-rehob. The Danites rebuilt the city and settled there. 29 They named the city Dan, after their ancestor Dan, who was born to Israel. However, the city had been named Laish previously.
