18:10. We shall come to a people that is secure, into a spacious
country, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, in which there is no
want of any thing that groweth on the earth.
18:11. There went therefore of the kindred of Dan, to wit, from Saraa
and Esthaol, six hundred men, furnished with arms for war.
18:12. And going up they lodged in Cariathiarim of Juda: which place
from that time is called the camp of Dan, and is behind Cariathiarim.
18:13. From thence they passed into mount Ephraim. And when they were
come to the house of Michas,
18:14. The five men, that before had been sent to view the land of Lais,
said to the rest of their brethren: You know that in these houses there
is an ephod and theraphim, and a graven and a molten god: see what you
are pleased to do.
18:15. And when they had turned a little aside, they went into the house
of the young man the Levite, who was in the house of Michas: and they
saluted him with words of peace.
18:16. And the six hundred men stood before the door, appointed with
their arms.
18:17. But they that were gone into the house of the young man, went
about to take away the graven god, and the ephod, and the theraphim, and
the molten god, and the priest stood before the door, the six hundred
valiant men waiting not far off.
18:18. So they that were gone in took away the graven thing, the ephod,
and the idols, and the molten god, And the priest said to them: What are
you doing?
18:19. And they said to him: Hold thy peace, and put thy finger on thy
mouth, and come with us, that we may have thee for a father, and a
priest. Whether is better for thee, to be a priest in the house of one
man, or in a tribe and family in Israel?
18:20. When he heard this, he agreed to their words, and took the ephod,
and the idols, and the graven god, and departed with them.
18:21. And when they were going forward, and had put before them the
children and the cattle, and all that was valuable,
18:22. And were now at a distance from the house of Michas, the men that
dwelt in the houses of Michas gathering together followed them,
18:23. And began to shout out after them. They looked back, and said to
Michas: What aileth thee? Why dost thou cry?
18:24. And he answered: You have taken away my gods which I have made
me, and the priest, and all that I have, and do you say: What aileth
thee?
18:25. And the children of Dan said to him: See thou say no more to us,
lest men enraged come upon thee, and thou perish with all thy house.
18:26. And so they went on the journey they had begun. But Michas
seeing that they were stronger than he, returned to his house.
18:27. And the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we spoke
of before, and came to Lais, to a people that was quiet and secure, and
smote them with the edge of the sword: and the city they burnt with
fire,
18:28. There being no man at all who brought them any succour, because
they dwelt far from Sidon, and had no society or business with any man.
And the city was in the land of Rohob: and they rebuilt it, and dwelt
therein,
18:29. Calling the name of the city Dan, after the name of their father,
who was the son of Israel, which before was called Lais.
18:30. And they set up to themselves the graven idol, and Jonathan the
son of Gersam, the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests in the
tribe of Dan, until the day of their captivity.
18:31. And the idol of Michas remained with them all the time that the
house of God was in Silo. In those days there was no king in Israel.
