10. As soon as you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people. The land is spacious, for God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth.”
11. So 600 men of the tribe of Dan, armed with weapons of war, set out from Zorah and Eshtaol,
12. and went up and encamped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. On this account that place is called Mahaneh-dan to this day; behold, it is west of Kiriath-jearim.
13. And they passed on from there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
14. Then the five men who had gone to scout out the country of Laish said to their brothers, “Do you know that in these houses there are an ephod, household gods, a carved image, and a metal image? Now therefore consider what you will do.”
15. And they turned aside there and came to the house of the young Levite, at the home of Micah, and asked him about his welfare.
16. Now the 600 men of the Danites, armed with their weapons of war, stood by the entrance of the gate.
