Judges 18:6-10
6And the priestH3548 saidH559 to them, “GoH1980 in peaceH7965; your wayH1870 in whichH834 you are goingH1980 1has the Lord’sH3068 approvalH5227.”
7So the fiveH2568 menH376 departedH1980 and cameH935 to 2LaishH3919, and sawH7200 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were in it livingH3427 in securityH983, in the wayH4941 of the SidoniansH6722, quietH8252 and unsuspectingH982; for thereH369 wasH369 noH369 3oppressiveH6114 rulerH3423 humiliatingH3637 them for anythingH1697 in the landH776, and they were farH7350 from the SidoniansH6722 and hadH369 noH369 dealingsH1697 with anyoneH120. 8When they cameH935 back to their brothersH251 at ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847, their brothersH251 saidH559 to them, “WhatH4100 do you say?” 9And they saidH559, “AriseH6965, and let’s goH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 them; for we have seenH7200 the landH776, and beholdH2009, it is veryH3966 goodH2896. And will you 4sitH2814 stillH2814? Do not hesitateH6101 to goH1980, to enterH935, to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776. 10When you enterH935, you will comeH935 to an unsuspectingH982 peopleH5971 with a spaciousH7342H3027 landH776; for GodH430 has handedH5414H3027 it overH5414 to you, 5a placeH4725 whereH834H8033 thereH369 isH369 noH369 lackH4270 of anythingH3605H1697 that is on the earthH776.”
