Judges 18:7-14
7And the fiveH2568 menH376 departed, and cameH935 to Laish; and they sawH7200 the peopleH5971 that were therein, dwellingH3427 securely, after the mannerH1697 of the Zidonians, quietH8252 and secureH982; and no oneH376 was in the landH776 who possessedH3423 authority, that might put [them] to shameH3637 in anythingH1697; and they were farH7350 from the Zidonians, and had nothingH369 to do with [any] manH376.
8— And they cameH935 to their brethren at Zoreah and EshtaolH847. And their brethren saidH559 to 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 ye are still! Be not slothful to goH935, to enter to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776.
10When ye goH935 in, ye shall comeH935 to a peopleH5971 secureH982, and the landH776 is spacious in every direction; for 1GodH430 has givenH5414 it into your handsH3027; [it is] a placeH4725 whereH834 there is no want of anything that is on the earthH776.
11And there went from thence of the familyH4940 of the Danites, out of Zoreah and out of EshtaolH847, sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 girdedH2296 with weaponsH3627 of warH4421.
12And they wentH5927 up and encampedH2583 in Kirjath-jearim, in JudahH3063; thereforeH3651 they callH7121 that placeH4725 Mahaneh-DanH4265 to this dayH3117: behold, it is behind Kirjath-jearim.
13And they passedH5674 thence to mount EphraimH669, and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of MicahH4318.
14Then the fiveH2568 menH376 that had goneH1980 to spyH7270 out the country of Laish spoke and saidH559 to their brethren, Do ye knowH3045 that there is in these housesH1004 an ephodH646, and teraphimH8655, and a graven imageH6459, and a molten imageH6459? And nowH6258 ye knowH3045 what to do.
