Judges 18:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ The five men went away and came to Laish. They saw the people who were there, living securely according to the culture of the Sidonians. There were no rulers in the land who might put them to shame for anything. They were far from the Sidonians and had no ties with anyone.

⁸ When they came back to their brothers in Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers asked them, “What do you have to say?”

⁹ They said, “Get up! Let us go up against them, for we have seen the land. It is very good. You are silent, but do not hesitate to go to take the land.
