23. They shouted to the Danites, who turned and said to Micah, What ails you, that you come with such a company?
24. And he said, You take away my gods which I made and the priest, and go away; and what have I left? How can you say to me, What ails you?
25. And the men of Dan said to him, Let not your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall upon you and you lose your life with the lives of your household.
26. And the Danites went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
27. And they took the things which Micah had made, and his priest, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and feeling secure, and they smote them with the sword and burned the city.
28. And there was no deliverer because it was far from Sidon, and they had no business with anyone. It was in the valley which belongs to Beth-rehob. And they rebuilt the city and dwelt in it.
29. They named the city Dan, after Dan their forefather who was born to Israel; however, the name of the city was Laish at first.
30. And the Danites set up the graven image for themselves; and Jonathan son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
31. So they set them up Micah's graven image which he made, as long as the house of God was at Shiloh.
