Judges 18:1-3

Living Bible

18 As has already been stated, there was no king in Israel at that time. The tribe of Dan was trying to find a place to settle, for they had not yet driven out the people living in the land assigned to them. ² So the men of Dan chose five army heroes from the cities of Zorah and Eshtaol as scouts to go and spy out the land they were supposed to settle in. Arriving in the hill country of Ephraim, they stayed at Micah’s home. ³ Noticing the young Levite’s accent, they took him aside and asked him, “What are you doing here? Why did you come?”
