The tribe of Dan » A part of » Took laish and called it dan
Later, when the descendants of Dan lost their territory, they went up and attacked Leshem. After they captured it and executed its inhabitants, they took possession of it and settled there, renaming the city of Leshem to Dan in memory of their ancestor Dan.
But the descendants of Dan took what Micah had made, along with the priest who had worked for him, and went to Laish, to a quiet and carefree people, and killed them with swords. Then they set fire to the city. They had no one else to deliver them, because they lived far from Sidon and had no dealings with anyone. It lay in the valley near Beth-rehob. They rebuilt the city and lived in it. They renamed the city Dan, after the name of their ancestor Dan, who had been born in Israel. The former name of the city was Laish.
When they returned to their relatives at Zorah and Eshtaol, their relatives asked them, "What's your report?" They replied, "Let's get going and attack them. We've scouted out the land and look! it's a very good one. Why should we sit still? We can't wait to go back, invade, and take over the land. When you invade, you'll meet a carefree people living in a spacious territory. God has given it into your control it's a place that lacks nothing on this earth!" read more.
So 600 descendants of Dan from Zorah and Eshtaol set out for battle, armed with military weapons. They went out and encamped at Kiriath-jearim in the territory of Judah. (That's why they call the place Mahaneh-dan to this day. It lies west of Kiriath-jearim.) They proceeded from there to the mountainous region of Ephraim and arrived at Micah's house.

They told him, "Shut up and keep quiet. Come with us and be our spiritual father and priest. It's better for you, isn't it, to be a priest to an entire tribe and family in Israel than to be priest to the home of one man?" read more.
The priest was happy to oblige, so he took the ephod, the household idols, and the carved image and went along with the army. Then they turned around and left, sending their little ones, their livestock, and their valuables on ahead.
