Judges 18:1-3

The Voice

18 During this period, Israel had no king, and the tribe of Dan was searching for a territory they could call their own because at that time they had not been assigned land among the other peoples of Israel. ² So the people of Dan chose five brave men from out of the entire tribe, men from the towns of Zorah and Eshtaol, to explore the land and to seek a new home for them. “Go and explore the land,” was their charge.

When they reached the hill country of Ephraim, they stayed in Micah’s home. ³ As they came near Micah’s house, they recognized from his speech that the Levite priest was not from around there.
