Judges 18:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ And the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we spoke of before, and came to Lais to a people that was quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword: and the city was burnt with fire,

²⁸ There being no man at all who brought them any succour, because they dwelt far from Sidon, and had no society or business with any man. And the city was in the land of Rohob: and they rebuilt it and dwelt therein.

²⁹ Calling the name of the city Dan after the name of their father, who was the son of Israel, which before was called Lais.
