Judges 18:7-12

7Then the fiveH2568 menH582 departedH3212, and cameH935 to LaishH3919, and sawH7200 the peopleH5971 that were thereinH7130, how they dweltH3427 carelessH983, after the mannerH4941 of the SidoniansH6722, quietH8252 and secureH982; and there was no magistrateH6114H3423 in the landH776, that might put them to shameH3637 in any thingH1697; and they were farH7350 from the SidoniansH6722, and had no businessH1697 with any manH120.12 8And they cameH935 unto their brethrenH251 to ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847: and their brethrenH251 saidH559 unto them, What say ye? 9And they saidH559, AriseH6965, that we may go upH5927 against them: for we have seenH7200 the landH776, and, behold, it is veryH3966 goodH2896: and are ye stillH2814? be not slothfulH6101 to goH3212, and to enterH935 to possessH3423 the landH776. 10When ye goH935, ye shall comeH935 unto a peopleH5971 secureH982, and to a largeH7342 landH776: for GodH430 hath givenH5414 it into your handsH3027; a placeH4725 where there is no wantH4270 of any thingH1697 that is in the earthH776.

11And there wentH5265 from thence of the familyH4940 of the DanitesH1839, out of ZorahH6881 and out of EshtaolH847, sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 appointedH2296 with weaponsH3627 of warH4421.3 12And they went upH5927, and pitchedH2583 in Kirjath–jearimH7157, in JudahH3063: wherefore they calledH7121 that placeH4725 Mahaneh–danH4265 unto this dayH3117: behold, it is behindH310 Kirjath–jearimH7157.
