Judges 18:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ Then the five men departed and came to ^(A)Laish and saw the people who were in it living in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no ^[a]ruler humiliating them for anything in the land, and they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone. ⁸ When they came back to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers said to them, “What do you report?” ⁹ They said, “Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. And will you ^[b]sit still? Do not delay to go, to enter, to possess the land.
