Danites Settle in Laish

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.
