The Danites Settle in Laish
27 The Danites, having taken what Micah had made and the priest who belonged to him, came to Laish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, put them to the sword, and burned down the city.(A) 28 There was no deliverer because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with Aram.[a] It was in the valley that belongs to Beth-rehob. They rebuilt the city and lived in it.(B)
