New American Standard Bible
12 They went up and camped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. Therefore they called that place [a](A)Mahaneh-dan to this day; behold, it is [b]west of Kiriath-jearim. 13 And they passed from there to the hill country of Ephraim and came to the house of Micah.
Danites Take Micah’s Idols
14 Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish [c]said to their kinsmen, “Do you know that there are in these houses (B)an ephod and [d]household idols, and a carved image and a cast metal image? Now then, consider what you should do.”

Judges 18:12-14
New International Version
12 On their way they set up camp near Kiriath Jearim(A) in Judah. This is why the place west of Kiriath Jearim is called Mahaneh Dan[a](B) to this day. 13 From there they went on to the hill country of Ephraim and came to Micah’s house.(C)
14 Then the five men who had spied out the land of Laish(D) said to their fellow Danites, “Do you know that one of these houses has an ephod,(E) some household gods and an image overlaid with silver?(F) Now you know what to do.”
