Judges 18:25-31

25And the children of DanH1835 saidH559 unto him, Let not thy voiceH6963 be heardH8085 among us, lestH6435 angry fellows fallH6293 upon you, and thou lose thy lifeH5315, with the livesH5315 of thy householdH1004. 26And the children of DanH1835 wentH7725 their wayH1870: and when MicahH4318 sawH7200 that they were too strongH2389 for him, he turnedH6437 and wentH7725 backH7725 unto his houseH1004.

27And they tookH3947 that which MicahH4318 had madeH6213, and the priestH3548 whom he had, and cameH935 unto Laish, unto a peopleH5971 quietH8252 and secureH982, and smote them with the edge of the swordH2719; and they burntH8313 the cityH5892 with fireH784. 28And there was no delivererH5337, because it was farH7350 from SidonH6721, and they had no dealings with any manH120; and it was in the valleyH6010 that lieth by Beth-rehobH1050. And they builtH1129 the cityH5892, and dweltH3427 therein. 29And they calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 DanH1835, after the nameH8034 of DanH1835 their fatherH1, who was bornH3205 unto IsraelH3478: howbeit the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was Laish at the firstH7223. 30And the children of DanH1835 setH6965 up for themselves the graven imageH6459; and JonathanH3129, the sonH1121 of GershomH1647, the sonH1121 of Moses, he and his sonsH1121 wereH1961 priestsH3548 to the tribeH7626 of the Danites until the dayH3117 of the captivity of the landH776. 31So they setH7760 them up Micah’s graven imageH6459 which he madeH6213, all the time that the houseH1004 of GodH430 wasH1961 in ShilohH7887.
