Dan’s military divisions will camp on the north side under their banner. The leader of the Danites is Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.

On the tenth day Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai, leader of the Danites, presented an offering.

The seventh lot came out for the Danite tribe by its clans.

When the territory of the Danites slipped out of their control, they went up and fought against Leshem, captured it, and struck it down with the sword. So they took possession of it, lived there, and renamed Leshem after their ancestor Dan.

This was the inheritance of the Danite tribe by its clans, these cities with their villages.

The Amorites forced the Danites into the hill country and did not allow them to go down into the valley.

In those days, there was no king in Israel, and the Danite tribe was looking for territory to occupy. Up to that time no territory had been captured by them among the tribes of Israel.

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.

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

The 600 Danite men were standing by the entrance of the gate, armed with their weapons of war.

After they were some distance from Micah’s house, the men who were in the houses near it mobilized and caught up with the Danites.

They called to the Danites, who turned to face them, and said to Micah, “What’s the matter with you that you mobilized the men?”

The Danites said to him, “Don’t raise your voice against us, or angry men will attack you, and you and your family will lose your lives.”

The Danites went on their way, and Micah turned to go back home, because he saw that they were stronger than he was.

The Danites set up the carved image for themselves. Jonathan son of Gershom, son of Moses, and his sons were priests for the Danite tribe until the time of the exile from the land.

From the Danites: 28,600 trained for battle.
