Judges 18:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ The five men left and came to Laish. They saw that the people there were living in safety, just like the Sidonians lived, quiet and secure. There were no rulers in the land who could shame them in anything. They were quite far away from the Sidonians, and they had no ties to anyone.

⁸ They came back to their brethren in Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brethren said to them, “What do you have to say?” ⁹ They said, “Arise so that we can attack them. We have seen the land, and it is truly very good. Do not delay in going there so that you can enter and take possession of the land.
