25And the children of Dan said to him, Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest angry men fall upon you and you lose your life, with the lives of your household.
26And the children of Dan went their way, and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
27And they took what Micah had made, and the priest he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and struck them with the edge of the sword, and burned the city with fire.
28And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no dealings with anyone; and it was in the valley that lies by Bethrehob. And they built a city and lived there.
29And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel; however, the name of the city was Laish at first.
30And the children of Dan set up the carved image, and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
