Judges 18:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ They took away the things that Micah had made and his priest, and they arrived in Laish. This land was quiet, with people who lived in security, and they put them to the sword and burned the city down. ²⁸ There was no one to deliver them, for Sidon was far away and they had no allies. This happened in the valley near Beth-rehob. They built a city and dwelt there. ²⁹ They named the city Dan after their forefather who was called Dan. He was the son of Israel. The city had originally been called Laish.
