Judges 18:2-10

2So the DanitesH1121H1835 sent outH7971 fiveH2568 menH582 from their clansH4940H7098, menH582 ofH1121 valorH2428 from ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847, to spy outH7270 the landH776 and explore itH2713. “GoH1980 and exploreH2713 the landH776,” they told themH559H413.

The men enteredH935 the hill countryH2022 of EphraimH669 and came toH5704 the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, where they spent the nightH3885H8033. 3And while theyH1992 were nearH5973 Micah’sH4318 houseH1004, theyH1992 recognizedH5234 the voiceH6963 of the youngH5288 LeviteH3881; so they went overH5493 and askedH559 him, “WhoH4310 broughtH935 you hereH1988? WhatH4100 are youH859 doingH6213 in thisH2088 place? WhyH4100 are you hereH6311?”

4“MicahH4318 has doneH6213 thisH2090 and thatH2088 for me,” he repliedH559H413, “and he has hired meH7936 to beH1961 his priestH3548.”

5Then they saidH559 to him, “PleaseH4994 inquireH7592 of GodH430 to determineH3045 whether weH587H1980H5921 will have a successfulH6743 journeyH1870.”

6And the priestH3548 toldH559 them, “GoH1980 in peaceH7965. The LORDH3068 is watching overH5227 your journeyH1870.”

7So the fiveH2568 menH582 departedH1980 and cameH935 to LaishH3919, where they sawH7200 that the peopleH5971 were livingH3427 securelyH983, likeH4941 the SidoniansH6722, quietH8252 and unsuspectingH982. There was nothingH369H1697 lackingH3637 in the landH776 and no oppressiveH3423 rulerH6114. And theyH1992 were far awayH7350 from the SidoniansH6722 and had noH369 allianceH1697 withH5973 anyoneH120.

8When the men returnedH935 toH413 ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847, their brothersH251 askedH559 them, “WhatH4100 did you findH859?”

9They answeredH559, “Come onH6965, let us go upH5927 against themH5921, forH3588 we have seenH7200 the landH776H2009, and it is veryH3966 goodH2896. Why would you fail to actH859H2814? Do notH408 hesitateH6101 to go thereH1980H935 and take possession ofH3423 the landH776! 10When you enterH935, you will comeH935 toH413 an unsuspectingH982 peopleH5971 and a spaciousH7342H3027 landH776, forH3588 GodH430 has delivered itH5414 into your handH3027. It is a placeH4725 whereH834 nothingH369H8033H3605H1697 on earthH776 is lackingH4270.”
