Judges 18:2-10

2And the childrenH1121 of DanH1835 sentH7971 of their familyH4940 fiveH2568 menH376 from their wholeH7098 numberH7098, menH376 of valour, from ZorahH6881, and from EshtaolH847, to spyH7270 outH7971 the landH776, and to searchH2713 it; and they saidH559 unto them, GoH935, searchH2713 the landH776: and they cameH935 to the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, unto the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, and lodged there.

3When they were by the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, they knew the voiceH6963 of the youngH5288 manH5288 the LeviteH3881: and they turnedH5493 asideH5493 thither, and saidH559 unto him, Who broughtH935 thee hither? and whatH4100 doest thou in this placeH1004? and whatH4100 hast thou hereH6311?

4And he saidH559 unto them, ThusH2088 and thusH2088 hath MicahH4318 dealt with meH413, and he hath hiredH7936 meH413, and I am becomeH1961 his priestH3548.

5And they saidH559 unto him, AskH7592 counsel, weH587 prayH4994 thee, of GodH430, that weH587 may knowH3045 whether our wayH1870 whichH834 weH587 goH1980 shall be prosperousH6743.

6And the priestH3548 saidH559 unto them, Go in peaceH7965: beforeH5227 the LORDH3068 is your wayH1870 whereinH834 ye go.

7Then the fiveH2568 menH376 departedH935, and cameH935 to Laish, and sawH7200 the peopleH5971 that were therein, howH834 they dweltH3427 in securityH983, afterH776 the mannerH1697 of the Zidonians, quietH8252 and secureH982; for there was noneH369 in the landH776, possessing authorityH1697, that might putH935 them to shameH3637 in anyH376 thingH1697, and they were farH7350 from the Zidonians, and had noH369 dealingsH1697 with anyH376 manH376.

8And they cameH935 unto their brethrenH251 to ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847: and their brethrenH251 saidH559 unto them, WhatH4100 sayH559 ye?

9And they saidH559, AriseH6965, and letH408 usH5921 goH935 upH5927 againstH5921 them: for weH3588 have seenH7200 the landH776, and, beholdH2009, it is veryH3966 goodH2896: and are ye stillH2814? be notH408 slofthful to goH935 and to enterH935 in to possessH3423 the landH776.

10When ye goH935, ye shall comeH935 unto a peopleH5971 secureH982, and the landH776 is large: for GodH430 hath givenH5414 it intoH413 your handH3027; a placeH4725 whereH834 there is noH369 wantH4270 of anyH3605 thingH1697 that is in the earthH776.
