There was a certain man from Zorah, from the family of Dan, whose name was Manoah; his wife was unable to conceive and had no children.

Then the Spirit of the Lord began to direct him in the Camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

Then his brothers and his father’s family came down, carried him back, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father Manoah. So he judged Israel 20 years.

So the Danites sent out five brave men from all their clans, from Zorah and Eshtaol, to scout out the land and explore it. They told them, “Go and explore the land.”

They came to the hill country of Ephraim as far as the home of Micah and spent the night there.

When the men went back to their clans at Zorah and Eshtaol, their people asked them, “What did you find out?”

Six hundred Danites departed from Zorah and Eshtaol armed with weapons of war.
