10 When you go you will come to a trusting people. The land stretches out in both directions, and God has indeed given it into your power—a place where no natural resource is lacking.”
11 So six hundred of the clan of the Danites, men armed with weapons of war, set out from Zorah and Eshtaol.
12 They marched up into Judah and encamped near Kiriath-jearim; for this reason the place is called Mahaneh-dan to this day (it lies west of Kiriath-jearim).
13 From there they passed on into the mountain region of Ephraim and came to the house of Micah.
14 Then the five men who had gone to reconnoiter the land spoke up and said to their kindred, “Do you know that in these houses there are an ephod, teraphim, and an idol overlaid with silver? Now decide what you must do!”
15 So turning in that direction, they went to the house of the young Levite at the home of Micah and greeted him.
16 The six hundred Danites stationed themselves at the entrance of the gate armed with weapons of war.
