Joshua 19:40-48

40The seventh lot fell to the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families.

41The territory of their inheritance included Zorah and Eshtaol and Ir-shemesh,

42and Shaalabbin and Aijalon and Ithlah,

43and Elon and Timnah and Ekron,

44and Eltekeh and Gibbethon and Baalath,

45and Jehud and Bene-berak and Gath-rimmon,

46and Me-jarkon and Rakkon, with the territory opposite Joppa.

47The territory of the sons of Dan went beyond these; so the sons of Dan went up to fight against Leshem (Laish) and captured it. Then they struck it with the edge of the sword and took possession of it and settled there [between the tribes of Naphtali and Manasseh]; they renamed Leshem, Dan, after the name of their father (ancestor) Dan.

48This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families (clans), these cities with their villages.
