King James Version Help
18In 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.H3117H4428H3478H3117H7626H1839H1245H5159H3427H3117H5159H5307H8432H7626H3478 2And 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.H1121H1835H7971H4940H2568H582H7098H1121H2428H6881H847H7270H776H2713H559H3212H2713H776H935H2022H669H1004H4318H3885 3When 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?H1004H4318H5234H6963H5288H3881H5493H559H935H1988H6213 4And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.H559H2090H2090H6213H4318H7936H3548 5And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.H559H7592H430H3045H1870H1980H6743 6And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.H3548H559H3212H7965H5227H3068H1870H3212 7Then 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.H2568H582H3212H935H3919H7200H5971H7130H3427H983H4941H6722H8252H982H3423H6114H776H3637H1697H7350H6722H1697H120 8And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?H935H251H6881H847H251H559 9And 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.H559H6965H5927H7200H776H3966H2896H2814H6101H3212H935H3423H776 10When 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.H935H935H5971H982H7342H776H430H5414H3027H4725H4270H1697H776 11And 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.H5265H4940H1839H6881H847H8337H3967H376H2296H3627H4421 12And they went up, and pitched in Kirjathjearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjathjearim.H5927H2583H7157H3063H7121H4725H4265H3117H310H7157 13And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.H5674H2022H669H935H1004H4318 14Then 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.H6030H2568H582H1980H7270H776H3919H559H251H3045H3426H1004H646H8655H6459H4541H3045H6213 15And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.H5493H935H1004H5288H3881H1004H4318H7592H7965 16And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.H8337H3967H376H2296H3627H4421H1121H1835H5324H6607H8179 17And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.H2568H582H1980H7270H776H5927H935H3947H6459H646H8655H4541H3548H5324H6607H8179H8337H3967H376H2296H3627H4421 18And 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?H935H4318H1004H3947H6459H646H8655H4541H559H3548H6213 19And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?H559H2790H7760H3027H6310H3212H1961H1H3548H2896H3548H1004H259H376H3548H7626H4940H3478 20And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.H3548H3820H3190H3947H646H8655H6459H935H7130H5971 21So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.H6437H3212H7760H2945H4735H3520H6440 22And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.H7368H1004H4318H582H1004H4318H1004H2199H1692H1121H1835 23And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?H7121H1121H1835H5437H6440H559H4318H2199 24And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee?H559H3947H430H6213H3548H3212H559 25And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.H1121H1835H559H6963H8085H4751H5315H582H6293H622H5315H5315H1004 26And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.H1121H1835H3212H1870H4318H7200H2389H6437H7725H1004 27And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.H3947H4318H6213H3548H935H3919H5971H8252H982H5221H6310H2719H8313H5892H784 28And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.H5337H7350H6721H1697H120H6010H1050H1129H5892H3427 29And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.H7121H8034H5892H1835H8034H1835H1H3205H3478H199H8034H5892H3919H7223 30And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.H1121H1835H6965H6459H3083H1121H1647H1121H4519H1121H3548H7626H1839H3117H1540H776 31And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.H7760H4318H6459H6213H3117H1004H430H7887
