And the five men departed and came to Laish, and saw the people in it, how they lived carelessly, as the Sidonians do, quiet and secure. And there was no judge in the land who might put them to shame in a thing. And they were far from the Sidonians, and had no business with any man.

Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish answered and said to their brothers, Did you know that there is in these houses an ephod, and household gods, and an engraved image and a molten image? And now consider what you have to do.

And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and feeling safe. And they struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire.

And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel. However the name of the city was Laish at the first.

And Saul gave his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.

And Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband, from Phaltiel the son of Laish.

Lift up your voice, daughter of heaps; shriek with your voice; bow Laish, afflicted of Anathoth.
