27 So they took the things Micah had made, and the priest who had belonged to him, and went to Laish, to a people quiet and secure; (A)and they struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire. 28 There was no deliverer, because it was (B)far from Sidon, and they had no ties with anyone. It was in the valley that belongs (C)to Beth Rehob. So they rebuilt the city and dwelt there.

7 So the five men departed and went to (A)Laish. They saw the people who were there, (B)how they dwelt safely, in the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure. There were no rulers in the land who might put them to shame for anything. They were far from the (C)Sidonians, and they had no ties [a]with anyone.
8 Then the spies came back to their brethren at (D)Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brethren said to them, “What is your report?”
9 So they said, (E)“Arise, let us go up against them. For we have seen the land, and indeed it is very good. Would you (F)do nothing? Do not hesitate to go, and enter to possess the land. 10 When you go, you will come to a (G)secure people and a large land. For God has given it into your hands, (H)a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth.”
