    23When they called out to the Danites, the Danites turned around and said to Micah,“Why have you gathered together?”

    24He said,“You stole my gods that I made, as well as this priest, and then went away. What do I have left? How can you have the audacity to say to me,‘What do you want?’”

    25The Danites said to him,“Don’t say another word to us, or some very angry men will attack you, and you and your family will die.”

    26The Danites went on their way; when Micah realized they were too strong to resist, he turned around and went home.

    27Now the Danites took what Micah had made, as well as his priest, and came to Laish, where the people were undisturbed and unsuspecting. They struck them down with the sword and burned the city.

    28No one came to the rescue because the city was far from Sidon and they had no dealings with anyone. The city was in a valley near Beth Rehob. The Danites rebuilt the city and occupied it.

    29They named it Dan after their ancestor, who was one of Israel’s sons. But the city’s name used to be Laish.

    30The Danites worshiped the carved image. Jonathan, descendant of Gershom, son of Moses, and his descendants served as priests for the tribe of Dan until the time of the exile.

    31They worshiped Micah’s carved image the whole time God’s authorized shrine was in Shiloh.

    1The Tribe of Dan Finds an Inheritance In those days Israel had no king. And in those days the Danite tribe was looking for a place to settle, because at that time they did not yet have a place to call their own among the tribes of Israel.

    2The Danites sent out from their whole tribe five representatives, capable men from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and explore it. They said to them,“Go, explore the land.” They came to the Ephraimite hill country and spent the night at Micah’s house.

    3As they approached Micah’s house, they recognized the accent of the young Levite. So they stopped there and said to him,“Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What is your business here?”

    10When you invade, you will encounter unsuspecting people. The land is wide! God is handing it over to you– a place that lacks nothing on earth!”

    11So six hundred Danites, fully armed, set out from Zorah and Eshtaol.

    12They went up and camped in Kiriath Jearim in Judah.(To this day that place is called Camp of Dan. It is west of Kiriath Jearim.)

    13From there they traveled through the Ephraimite hill country and arrived at Micah’s house.

    14The five men who had gone to spy out the land of Laish said to their kinsmen,“Do you realize that inside these houses are an ephod, some personal idols, a carved image, and a metal image? Decide now what you want to do.”

    15They stopped there, went inside the young Levite’s house(which belonged to Micah), and asked him how he was doing.

    16Meanwhile the six hundred Danites, fully armed, stood at the entrance to the gate.

    17The five men who had gone to spy out the land broke in and stole the carved image, the ephod, the personal idols, and the metal image, while the priest was standing at the entrance to the gate with the six hundred fully armed men.

    18When these men broke into Micah’s house and stole the carved image, the ephod, the personal idols, and the metal image, the priest said to them,“What are you doing?”
