The Danites Adopt Micah’s Idolatry

1 In athose days there was no king in Israel. And in those days bthe tribe of the Danites was seeking an inheritance for itself to dwell in; for until that day their inheritance among the tribes of Israel had not fallen to them.  
2 So the children of Dan sent five men of their family from their territory, men of valor from aZorah and Eshtaol, bto spy out the land and search it. They said to them, “Go, search the land.” So they went to the mountains of Ephraim, to the chouse of Micah, and lodged there.  
3 While they were at the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite. They turned aside and said to him, “Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What do you have here?”
4 He said to them, “Thus and so Micah did for me. He has ahired me, and I have become his priest.”  
5 So they said to him, “Please ainquire of bGod, that we may know whether the journey on which we go will be prosperous.”  
6 And the priest said to them, a“Go in peace. The presence of the Lord be with you on your way.”  
7 So the five men departed and went to aLaish. They saw the people who were there, bhow they dwelt safely, in the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure. There were no rulers in the land who might put them to shame for anything. They were far from the cSidonians, and they had no ties with anyone.
