International Standard Version
Judges 18:6-8
International Standard Version
6 The priest responded to them, “Travel in peace. The mission that you’re to accomplish is from the Lord.”
7 So the five men left and went to Laish, and observed the people who were living there carefree, as Sidonians tend to do, in peace and quiet. There was no ruler in the land oppressing them for any reason. They were living far away from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with anyone.[a] 8 When they returned to their relatives at Zorah and Eshtaol, their relatives asked them, “What’s your report?”[b]
