Judges 18:28

The Danites Take Micah’s Idols

27After they had taken Micah’s idols and his priest, they went to Laish, to a tranquil and unsuspecting people, and they struck them with their swords and burned down the city. 28There was no one to deliver them, because the city was far from Sidon and had no alliance with anyone; it was in a valley near Beth-rehob. And the Danites rebuilt the city and lived there.29They named it Dan, after their forefather Dan, who was born to Israel—though the city was formerly named Laish.
