In
those
days
there
was
no king
in Israel
:
and in
those
days
the tribe
of the Danites
sought
them an inheritance
to dwell in
;
for unto that day
all their
inheritance
had not fallen
unto them among
the tribe
s
of Israel
.
2
And the children
of Dan
sent
of their family
five
men
from their coasts
,
men
of valour
,
from Zorah
,
and from Eshtaol
,
to spy
out
the land
,
and to
search
it; and they said unto them,
Go
,
search
the land
:
who when they came
to mount
Ephraim
,
to the house
of Micah
,
they lodged
there
.
3
When they
were
by the house
of Micah
,
they knew
the voice
of the young man
the Levite
:
and they turned in
thither, and said unto him,
Who
brought thee hither?
and what
makest thou in
this
place
?
and what
hast thou
here
?
4
And he said
unto them, Thus and thus
dealeth
Micah
with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.
5
And they said
unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God,
that we may know
whether our way
which
we go
shall be prosperous
.
6
And the priest
said
unto them,
Go
in peace
:
before
the LORD
is
your way
wherein ye go.
7
Then the five
men
departed
,
and came
to Laish
,
and saw
the people
that
were
therein,
how they dwelt
careless
,
after the manner
of the Zidonians
,
quiet
and secure
; and
there
was
no magistrate
in the land
,
that might put
them
to shame
in
any
thing
;
and they
were
far
from the Zidonians
,
and had no business
with
any
man
.
8
And they came
unto their brethren
to Zorah
and Eshtaol
:
and their brethren
said
unto them,
What
say
ye?
9
And they said
,
Arise
,
that we may go up
against
them: for we have seen
the land
, and, behold, it
is
very
good
:
and
are
ye still
? be not slothful
to go
,
and
to enter
to possess
the land
.
10
When ye go
,
ye shall come
unto a people
secure
,
and to a large
land
:
for God
hath given
it into your hands
;
a place
where
there
is
no want
of any
thing
that
is
in the earth
.
11
And there went
from thence of the family
of the Danites
,
out of Zorah
and out of Eshtaol
,
six
hundred
men
appointed
with weapons
of war
.
12
And they went up
,
and
pitched
in
Kirjathjearim
,
in Judah
:
wherefore they called
that place
Mahanehdan
un
to this
day
:
behold
,
it is
behind
Kirjathjearim
.
13
And they passed
thence unto mount
Ephraim
,
and came
unto the house
of Micah
.
14
Then answered
the five
men
that went
to spy out
the country
of Laish
,
and said
unto their brethren
,
Do ye know
that there is
in
these
houses
an ephod
,
and teraphim
,
and a graven image
, and a
molten
image? now
therefore
consider
what
ye have to do
.
15
And they turned
thitherward, and came
to the house
of the young man
the Levite
,
even
un
to the house
of Micah
, and saluted him.
16
And the six
hundred
men
appointed
with their weapons
of war
,
which
were
of the children
of Dan
,
stood
by the entering
of the gate
.
17
And the five
men
that went
to spy out
the land
went up
,
and
came in
thither,
and
took the graven image,
and the ephod
,
and the teraphim
,
and the molten image
:
and the priest
stood
in the entering
of the gate
with the six
hundred
men
that were
appointed
with weapons
of war
.
18
And
these
went
into Micah's
house
,
and fetched
the carved image
,
the ephod
,
and the teraphim
,
and the molten image
.
Then said
the priest
unto them,
What
do ye?
19
And they said
unto him, Hold thy peace,
lay
thine hand
upon thy mouth
, and go with us, and be to us
a father
and a priest
:
is it
better
for thee to be a priest
unto the house
of one
man
,
or
that thou be a priest
unto a tribe
and a family
in
Israel
?
20
And the priest's
heart
was glad
,
and he took
the ephod
,
and the teraphim
,
and the graven image
,
and went in
the midst
of the people
.
21
So they turned
and departed
,
and put
the little ones
and the cattle
and the carriage
before
them.
22
And
when they were a good way
from the
house
of Micah
, the men
that
were
in the
house
s
near
to Micah's
house
were gathered together
,
and overtook
the children
of Dan
.
23
And they cried
unto the children
of Dan
.
And they turned
their faces
,
and said
unto Micah
,
What
aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?
24
And he said
,
Ye have taken away
my gods
which
I made
,
and the priest
, and ye are
gone
away:
and what
have I more?
and what
is
this
that
ye say
un
to me
,
What
aileth thee?
25
And the children
of Dan
said
unto him, Let not thy voice
be heard
among
us, lest
angry
fellows
run
upon thee, and thou lose
thy life
,
with the lives
of thy household
.
26
And the children
of Dan
went
their way
:
and when Micah
saw
that they
were
too strong
for him, he turned
and
went
back
unto his house
.
27
And they took
the things
which Micah
had
made
,
and the priest
which he
had
, and came
unto Laish
,
unto a people
that were
at quiet
and secure
:
and they smote
them with the edge
of the sword
,
and burnt
the city
with fire
.
28
And
there was
no deliverer
,
because
it
was
far
from Zidon
,
and they had no business
with
any
man
;
and it was in the valley
that
lieth
by Bethrehob
.
And they built
a city
,
and dwelt
therein.
29
And they called
the name
of the city
Dan
,
after
the name
of
Dan
their father
,
who
was born
unto Israel
:
howbeit
the name
of the city
was
Laish
at the first
.
30
And the children
of Dan
set up
the graven image
: and Jonathan,
the son
of Gershom
,
the son
of Manasseh
,
he and his sons
were priests
to the tribe
of Dan
until
the day
of the captivity
of the land
.
31
And they set them up
Micah's
graven image
,
which
he made
,
all
the time
that the house
of God
was in Shiloh
.
