International Standard Version
Dan’s Allocation

After they captured it and executed its inhabitants, they took possession of it and settled there, renaming the city of Leshem to Dan in memory of their ancestor Dan. 48 These towns and villages comprised the inheritance of the tribe of Dan according to their families.
