Compare all
20 So the priest’s heart was glad; and he took the ephod, the household idols, and the carved image, and took his place among the people.
21 Then they turned and departed, and put the little ones, the livestock, and the goods in front of them.
22 When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah’s house gathered together and overtook the children of Dan.
23 And they called out to the children of Dan. So they turned around and said to Micah, a“What ails you, that you have gathered such a company?”  
24 So he said, “You have ataken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and you have gone away. Now what more do I have? How can you say to me, ‘What ails you?’ ”  
25 And the children of Dan said to him, “Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest1 angry men fall upon you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household!”  
26 Then the children of Dan went their way. And when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.

27 So they took the things Micah had made, and the priest who had belonged to him, and went to Laish, to a people quiet and secure; aand they struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire.  
28 There was no deliverer, because it was afar from Sidon, and they had no ties with anyone. It was in the valley that belongs bto Beth Rehob. So they rebuilt the city and dwelt there.  
29 And athey called the name of the city bDan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel. However, the name of the city formerly was Laish.  
30 Then the children of Dan set up for themselves the carved image; and Jonathan the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan auntil the day of the captivity of the land.  
31 So they set up for themselves Micah’s carved image which he made, aall the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
