Judges 18:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible
6 So the priest said to them, “Go in peace; your way in which you are going is before Yahweh.”
7 Then the five men went forth and came to (A)Laish and saw the people who were in it living in security, after the [a]manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no [b]oppressive conqueror dishonoring them for anything in the land, and they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone. 8 So they came back to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, “What do you report?”
