Judges 18:7
New King James Version
7 So the five men departed and went to (A)Laish. They saw the people who were there, (B)how they dwelt safely, in the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure. There were no rulers in the land who might put them to shame for anything. They were far from the (C)Sidonians, and they had no ties [a]with anyone.
