Judges 18:7-14

7Then the fiveH2568 menH376 departed, and cameH935 to Laish, and sawH7200 the peopleH5971 that were therein, how they dweltH3427 in securityH983, after the mannerH1697 of the SidoniansH6722, quietH8252 and secureH982; for there was none in the landH776, possessing authority, that might put them to shameH3637 in anythingH1697, and they were farH7350 from the SidoniansH6722, and had no dealings with any manH376. 8And they cameH935 unto their brethren to ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847: and their brethren saidH559 unto them, What sayH559 ye? 9And they saidH559, AriseH6965, and let us goH935 up against them; for we have seenH7200 the landH776, and, behold, it is veryH3966 goodH2896: and are ye still? be not slothful to goH935 and to enter in to possessH3423 the landH776. 10When ye goH935, ye shall comeH935 unto a peopleH5971 secureH982, and the landH776 is large; for GodH430 hath givenH5414 it into your handH3027, a placeH4725 whereH834 there is no want of anything that is in the earthH776.

11And there setH5265 forth from thence of the familyH4940 of the Danites, out of ZorahH6881 and out of EshtaolH847, sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 girt with weaponsH3627 of warH4421. 12And they wentH5927 up, and encampedH2583 in Kiriath-jearimH7157, in JudahH3063: wherefore they calledH7121 that placeH4725 Mahaneh-danH4265, unto this dayH3117; behold, it is behind Kiriath-jearimH7157. 13And they passedH5674 thence unto the hill-country of EphraimH669, and cameH935 unto the houseH1004 of MicahH4318.

14Then answered the fiveH2568 menH376 that wentH1980 to spyH7270 out the country of Laish, and saidH559 unto their brethren, Do ye knowH3045 that there is in these housesH1004 an ephodH646, and teraphimH8655, and a graven imageH6459, and a molten imageH6459? nowH6258 thereforeH6258 consider what ye have to do.
