Judges 18:25-31

25The Danites said to him, “Don’t raise your voice against us, or angry men will attack you, and you and your family will lose your lives.”

26The Danites went on their way, and Micah turned to go back home, because he saw that they were stronger than he was.

27After they had taken the gods Micah had made and the priest that belonged to him, they went to Laish, to a quiet and unsuspecting people. They killed them with their swords and burned the city.

28There was no one to rescue them because it was far from Sidon and they had no alliance with anyone. It was in a valley that belonged to Beth-rehob. They rebuilt the city and lived in it.

29They named the city Dan, after the name of their ancestor Dan, who was born to Israel. The city was formerly named Laish.

30The Danites set up the carved image for themselves. Jonathan son of Gershom, son of Moses, and his sons were priests for the Danite tribe until the time of the exile from the land.

31So they set up for themselves Micah’s carved image that he had made, and it was there as long as the house of God was in Shiloh.
