11 So 600 men of Dan left Zorah and Eshtaol. They were ready for war.
12 On their way they stopped near the city of Kiriath Jearim in Judah. They set up camp there. That is why the place is named Mahaneh Dan to this very day. It is west of Kiriath Jearim.
13 From there they traveled on to the mountains of Ephraim. Then they came to Micah’s house.
14 So the five men who had explored the land around Laish spoke. They said to their relatives, “There is a vest for a priest in one of these houses. And there are household gods in these houses. There are also a carved idol and an idol of melted silver in these houses. You know what to do.”
15 So they stopped at the Levite’s house. This was also Micah’s house. And they greeted the Levite.
16 The 600 men of Dan stood at the gate entrance. They wore their weapons of war.
17 The five spies went into the house. They took the carved idol, the vest for a priest, the household idols and the silver idol. The priest and the 600 men ready for war stood by the gate entrance.
