## Judges 18:29-31 in Context (Verses 26–31 KJV)
 
 [26 ](/kjv/judges/18/26) And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they *were* too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/judges/18/27) And they took *the things* which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people *that were* at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/judges/18/28) And *there was* no deliverer, because it *was* far from Zidon, and they had no business with *any* man; and it was in the valley that *lieth* by Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/judges/18/29) And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city *was* Laish at the first.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/judges/18/30) ¶ And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/judges/18/31) And they set them up Micah’s graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
