27 But the people of Dan took what Micah had made, and the priest who belonged to him, and they came to Laish, to a people (A)quiet and unsuspecting, and (B)struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire. 28 And there was no deliverer because it was (C)far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone. It was in the valley that belongs to (D)Beth-rehob. Then they rebuilt the city and lived in it. 29 And they named the city (E)Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel; but (F)the name of the city was Laish at the first. 30 And the people of Dan set up the carved image for themselves, and Jonathan the son of Gershom, (G)son of Moses,[a] (H)and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day (I)of the captivity of the land. 31 So they set up Micah's carved image that he made, (J)as long as the house of God was at Shiloh.
