3When they were near the house of Micah, hearing a voice which was not strange to them, that of the young Levite, they went out of their road to his place, and said to him, How did you come here? and what are you doing in this place? and why are you here?
4And he said to them, This is what Micah did for me, and he gave me payment and I became his priest.
5Then they said, Do get directions from God for us, to see if the journey on which we are going will have a good outcome.
6And the priest said to them, Go in peace: your way is guided by the Lord.
7Then the five men went on their way and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, living without thought of danger, like the Zidonians, quiet and safe; for they had everything on earth for their needs, and they were far from the Zidonians and had no business with Aram.
8So they came back to their brothers in Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, What news have you?
9And they said, Up! and let us go against Laish; for we have seen the land, and it is very good: why are you doing nothing? Do not be slow to go in and take the land for your heritage.
