21 And while traveling, they had also sent the children, and the cattle, and all that was valuable to go ahead of them.
22 And when they were far from the house of Micah, the men who were living in the houses of Micah, crying out together, followed them.
23 And they began to shout behind their backs. And when they had looked back, they said to Micah: "What do you want? Why are you crying out?"
24 And he responded: "You have taken away my gods, which I made for myself, and the priest, and all that I have. And do you say, 'What is it that you want?' "
25 And the sons of Dan said to him, "Take care that you no longer speak to us, otherwise men with a mind for violence may overwhelm you, and you yourself would perish with all your house."
26 And so, they continued on the journey that they had begun. But Micah, seeing that they were stronger than he was, returned to his house.
27 Now the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we stated above, and they went to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and they struck them down with the edge of the sword. And they burned the city with fire.
