27 After they had taken Micah’s (who is like God) idols and his priest, they went to Laish (lion), to a quiet and unsuspecting people, and they struck them with their swords and burned down the city. 28 There was no one to deliver them, because the city was far from Sidon (hunting) and had no alliance with anyone; it was in a valley near Beth-rehob (house of the street). And the Danites rebuilt the city and lived there. 29 They named it Dan (He has judged), after their forefather Dan, who was born to Israel (he wrestles with God)—though the city was formerly named Laish (lion).
