7 So the five men journeyed on until they reached Laish. There they saw that its people were living without worry in the same way as the Sidonians, undisturbed and secure. Nobody held back anything in the land, so no one had to hoard. Yet they lived far away from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone else.
8 When the men came back to their relatives at Zorah and Eshtaol, they asked them, "What did you find?"
9 "Come on," they replied, "let’s march up against them! Indeed, we’ve seen the land, and it’s very good. Right now you’re doing nothing! Don’t hold back from going and taking possession of the land.
10 When you arrive, you’ll come upon a secure people and a wide-open land, because God has given to you a place where nothing on earth is lacking."
11 At this, six hundred men from the Danite clan at Zorah and Eshtaol set out armed for battle.
12 They marched up and made camp at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. This is why the place west of Kiriath-jearim is still known as Dan’s Camp today.
13 From there they crossed into the Ephraim highlands and came to Micah’s house.
