They were a peaceful, quiet people, with no argument with anyone; they had all they needed.^[a] They lived far away from the Sidonians and had no dealings with any other people. ⁸ When the five men returned to Zorah and Eshtaol, the people asked them what they had found out. ⁹ “Come on,” they replied. “Let's attack Laish.
