9. They replied, “Get up, let’s attack Laish. We saw the land. It’s very good!“Don’t just sit there! Go at once and take the land.
10. When you get there, you will come to a secure people. The land is wide open to you. God will hand it over to you. It’s a place where you will have everything you could want.”
11. So 600 men from the tribe of Dan left Zorah and Eshtaol armed for war.
