In those days there was no king in Israel.
In those days the tribe of the Danites sought an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day, their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.
The children of Dan sent five men of their family from their whole number, men of valor, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land and to search it.
They said to them, “Go, explore the land!”
They came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.
