Portal:Bible/Featured chapter/Judges 18
The Tribe of Dan sends five scouts, and consequently 600 warriors to attack Laish, wherein is Micah's house. They steal Micah's idol, ephod, teraphim, and carved image, and persuade the priest go with them. When Micah discovers what has happened, he pursues the warriors, and is threatened with violence. The warriors burn Laish to the ground and then rebuild the town, renaming it Dan, and install the idols, which remain in use until the captivity of the land.
