Contextual Overview

7 The five men left, came to Layish and saw the people there living securely according to the customs of the Tzidonim, quietly and securely; since no one in the land was exercising authority that might shame them in any respect; moreover, they were far away from the Tzidonim and had no dealings with other peoples. 8 When they returned to their kinsmen in Tzor‘ah and Eshta'ol, they asked them what they had to report. 9 They said, "Let's go up and attack them. We've seen the land, and it's excellent. Don't delay; start moving! Go in, and take the land! 10 When you go, you will come to a people who feel safe. There's plenty of land, the place lacks nothing, it has everything there is on earth, and God has given it to you." 11 So from the tribe of Dan 600 men equipped for war set out from there, from Tzor‘ah and Eshta'ol. 12 They went up and camped at Kiryat-Ye‘arim, in Y'hudah, which is why that place is called Machaneh-Dan [the camp of Dan] to this day (actually, it's behind Kiryat-Ye‘arim). 13 From there they passed on into the hills of Efrayim and came to Mikhah's house.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there went from thence of the family of the Danites,.... Or families, the singular being put for the plural; for it can hardly be thought that such a number of men, as after mentioned, went out of one family:

out of Zorah, and out of Eshtaol; the two places the spies were sent from, and now had returned unto: and upon their report, and at their instigation, and by the encouragement they gave, there were

six hundred men appointed with weapons of war; that set out armed from the above places, on the expedition to take Laish.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 18:11. Six hundred men — These were not the whole, for we find they had children, c., Judges 18:21 but these appear to have been six hundred armed men.
