In those days
there was no king
in Israel:
and in those days
the tribe
of the Danites
sought
them an inheritance
to dwell in;
for unto that day
all their inheritance
had not fallen
unto them among
the tribes
of Israel.

And the children
of Dan
sent
of their family
five
men
from their coasts,
men
of valour,
from Zorah,
and from Eshtaol,
to spy
out the land,
and to search
it; and they said
unto them, Go,
search
the land:
who when they came
to mount
Ephraim,
to the house
of Micah,
they lodged
there.

When they were by the house
of Micah,
they knew
the voice
of the young man
the Levite:
and they turned in
thither, and said
unto him, Who brought
thee hither?
and what makest
thou in this place? and what hast thou here?

And he said
unto them, Thus
and thus
dealeth
Micah
with me, and hath hired
me, and I am his priest.
And they said
unto him, Ask counsel,
we pray thee, of God,
that we may know
whether our way
which we go
shall be prosperous.
And the priest
said
unto them, Go
in peace:
before
the LORD
is your way
wherein ye go.
Then the five
men
departed,
and came
to Laish,
and saw
the people
that were therein,
how they dwelt
careless,
after the manner
of the Zidonians,
quiet
and secure;
and there was no magistrate
in the land,
that might put them to shame
in any thing;
and they were far
from the Zidonians,
and had no business
with any man.

And they came
unto their brethren
to Zorah
and Eshtaol:
and their brethren
said
unto them, What say ye?
And they said,
Arise,
that we may go up
against them: for we have seen
the land,
and, behold, it is very
good:
and are ye still?
be not slothful
to go,
and to enter
to possess
the land.

When ye go,
ye shall come
unto a people
secure,
and to a large
land:
for God
hath given
it into your hands;
a place
where there is no want
of any thing
that is in the earth.
And there went
from thence of the family
of the Danites,
out of Zorah
and out of Eshtaol,
six
hundred
men
appointed
with weapons
of war.
And they went up,
and pitched
in Kirjathjearim,
in Judah:
wherefore they called
that place
Mahanehdan
unto this day:
behold, it is behind
Kirjathjearim.

And they passed
thence unto mount
Ephraim,
and came
unto the house
of Micah.
Then answered
the five
men
that went
to spy out
the country
of Laish,
and said
unto their brethren,
Do ye know
that there is
in these houses
an ephod,
and teraphim,
and a graven image,
and a molten image?
now therefore consider
what ye have to do.

And they turned

him.
And the six

that were appointed

And these went
into Micah's
house,
and fetched
the carved image,
the ephod,
and the teraphim,
and the molten image.
Then said
the priest
unto them, What do
ye?
