Judges 18:27-29

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁷ So the Danites took what Micah had made and also his priest, and they went up against Laish, against a quiet and unsuspecting people, and they struck them down by the edge^[a] of the sword and burned down the city.

²⁸ The people of Laish had no one to rescue them, because they were far away from Sidon, and they did not have any alliance with anyone else. The city was located in the valley near Beth Rehob.

The Danites rebuilt the city and lived there. ²⁹ They named the city Dan, after their forefather Dan, who was born to Israel, but Laish had been the original name of the city.
