In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day [their] inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.
"In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel. And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their whole number, men of valor, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land.  And they came to the hill-country of Ephraim, unto the house of Micah, and lodged there.  When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man, the Levite; and they turned aside thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what doest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?  And he said unto them, Thus and thus hath Micah dealt with me, and he hired me, and I am become his priest.  And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we shall go shall be prosperous.  And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before Jehovah is your way wherein ye go."
