Judges 18:6-8
New Life Version
6 The religious leader said to them, “Go in peace. The way you are going is pleasing to the Lord.”
7 Then the five men left and came to Laish. They saw how the people lived there, quiet and feeling safe, like the Sidonians. There was no ruler in the land who would put them to shame for anything. They were far from the Sidonians and had nothing to do with anyone. 8 The five men returned to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol. Their brothers said to them, “What do you have to say?”
