There was a man named Manoah from Zorah, from the Danite tribe. His wife was infertile and childless.

In those days Israel had no king. And in those days the Danite tribe was looking for a place to settle, because at that time they did not yet have a place to call their own among the tribes of Israel.

So six hundred Danites, fully armed, set out from Zorah and Eshtaol.
