8. They came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol; and their brothers asked them, “What do you say?”
9. They said, “Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. Do you stand still? Don’t be slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land.
10. When you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people, and the land is large; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth.”
11. The family of the Danites set out from Zorah and Eshtaol, with six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
12. They went up and encamped in Kiriath Jearim, in Judah. Therefore they called that place Mahaneh Dan, to this day. Behold, it is behind Kiriath Jearim.
13. They passed from there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
14. Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish answered, and said to their brothers, “Do you know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and an engraved image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you have to do.”
15. They turned aside there, and came to the house of the young Levite man, even to the house of Micah, and asked him how he was doing.
