27So they took what Micah had made, along with the priest who belonged to him, and came against Laish, against a people quiet and secure. They struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire.

28And there was no one to deliver them, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone; and it was in the valley that belongs to Beth-rehob. Then they rebuilt the city and lived in it.

29And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel; however, the name of the city formerly was Laish.
