Judges 18:8-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ Then the five spies returned to their fellow tribesmen^[a] at Zorah and Eshtaol. Their brothers said to them, “What do you think?”

⁹ The five answered, “Get up! Let us go up against them, ⎣for we have entered the land and journeyed as far as Laish. We saw how the people lived in security in the same way as the Sidonians, but they were far from the Sidonians, and they had no dealings with Aram. Get up! Let us go up against them,⎦^[b] for we have seen the land. We assure you it is very good. Why are you still sitting here? Do not be slow. Get going to the land and take possession of it. ¹⁰ When you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people, whose land is spacious. Yes, God has given into your hands a place where there is no lack of anything on earth.”
