Judges 18:7-10

7So the five men departed and came to 1Laish, and saw the people who were in it living in security, in the way of the Sidonians, quiet and unsuspecting; for there was no 2oppressive ruler humiliating them for anything in the land, and they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone. 8When they came back to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers said to them, “What do you say?” 9And they said, “Arise, and let’s go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. And will you 3sit still? Do not hesitate to go, to enter, to take possession of the land. 10When you enter, you will come to an unsuspecting people with a spacious land; for God has handed it over to you, 4a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth.”
