8 When they came back to their kinsmen at Zorah and Eshtaol, their kinsmen asked them, “What do you say?”
9 “Arise, let’s go up against them!” they said. “For we have seen the land—see, it’s very good. Yet you’re sitting still! Don’t be sluggish! Go enter, possess the land!
10 When you get there, you will come to unsuspecting people. The land is spacious. For God has put it in your hand—a place where there is no lack of anything on the earth.”
11 So from the Danite clan from Zorah and Eshtaol, 600 men set out, armed with weapons of war.
12 They went up and camped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. Therefore they called that place Mahaneh-Dan to this day—behold, it is west of Kiriath-jearim.
13 From there they passed on to the hill country of Ephraim and came to Micah’s house.
14 Then the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish said to their kinsmen, “Do you know that in these houses there are an ephod, household idols, a carved image and a molten image? Now therefore, consider what you have to do.”
