9 They answered, “We have seen the land. And it is very good. We should attack them. Aren’t you going to do something? Don’t wait! Let’s go and take that land!
10 When you go, you will see there is plenty of land. There is plenty of everything! The people are not expecting an attack. Surely God has given that land to us!”
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.
