Judges 18:28-30
International Children’s Bible
28 There was no one to save the people of Laish. They lived too far from Sidon. And they had no dealings with anyone else. Laish was in a valley near Beth Rehob.
The people of Dan rebuilt the city in that place. And they lived there. 29 They changed the name of Laish to Dan. They named it after their ancestor Dan. He was one of the sons of Israel.
30 The people of Dan set up the idols in the city of Dan. They made Jonathan son of Gershom their priest. Gershom was the son of Moses. Jonathan and his sons were priests for the tribe of Dan. They served as priests until the Israelites were taken captive.

28 There was no one to rescue them because they lived a long way from Sidon(A) and had no relationship with anyone else. The city was in a valley near Beth Rehob.(B)
The Danites rebuilt the city and settled there. 29 They named it Dan(C) after their ancestor Dan, who was born to Israel—though the city used to be called Laish.(D) 30 There the Danites set up for themselves the idol, and Jonathan son of Gershom,(E) the son of Moses,[a] and his sons were priests for the tribe of Dan until the time of the captivity of the land.
