Judges 18:2-10

2And the childrenH1121 of DanH1835 sentH7971 of their familyH4940 fiveH2568 menH582 from their landH7098, menH1121 of valourH2428, from ZorahH6881, and from EshtaolH847, to spyH7270 out the landH776, and to searchH2713 it; and they saidH559 to them, GoH3212, searchH2713 the landH776: who when they cameH935 to mountH2022 EphraimH669, to the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, they lodgedH3885 there.1 3When they were by the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, they knewH5234 the voiceH6963 of the young manH5288 the LeviteH3881: and they turned inH5493 there, and saidH559 to him, Who broughtH935 thee hereH1988? and what makestH6213 thou in this place ? and what hast thou here? 4And he saidH559 to them, ThusH2090 and thusH2090 dealethH6213 MicahH4318 with me, and hath hiredH7936 me, and I am his priestH3548. 5And they saidH559 to him, Ask counselH7592, we pray thee, of GodH430, that we may knowH3045 whether our wayH1870 which we goH1980 shall be prosperousH6743. 6And the priestH3548 saidH559 to them, GoH3212 in peaceH7965: beforeH5227 the LORDH3068 is your wayH1870 in which ye goH3212.

7Then the fiveH2568 menH582 departedH3212, and cameH935 to LaishH3919, and sawH7200 the peopleH5971 that were in itH7130, how they dweltH3427 carelessH983, after the mannerH4941 of the ZidoniansH6722, quietH8252 and secureH982; and there was no magistrateH3423H6114 in the landH776, that might put them to shameH3637 in any thingH1697; and they were farH7350 from the ZidoniansH6722, and had no businessH1697 with any manH120.23 8And they cameH935 to their brethrenH251 to ZorahH6881 and EshtaolH847: and their brethrenH251 saidH559 to 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 to 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 on the earthH776.
