Contextual Overview

7 So the five men left. They came to the city of Laish and saw that the people of that city lived in safety. They were ruled by the people of Sidon. Everything was peaceful and quiet. The people had plenty of everything, and they didn't have any enemies nearby to hurt them. Also they lived a long way from the city of Sidon, and they did not have any agreements with the people of Aram. 8 The five men went back to the cities of Zorah and Eshtaol. Their relatives asked them, "What did you learn?" 9 The five men answered, "We have found some land, and it is very good. We should attack them. Don't wait! Let's go and take that land! 10 When you come to that place, you will see that there is plenty of land. There is plenty of everything there. You will also see that the people are not expecting an attack. Surely God has given that land to us." 11 So 600 men from the tribe of Dan left the cities of Zorah and Eshtaol. They were ready for war. 12 On their way to the city of Laish, they stopped near the city of Kiriath Jearim in the land of Judah. They set up a camp there. That is why the place west of Kiriath Jearim is named Mahaneh Dan to this very day. 13 From there the 600 men traveled on to the hill country of Ephraim. Then they came to Micah's house.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they passed thence unto Mount Ephraim,.... Steering their coast still northward; this, according to Bunting b, was eight miles from Kirjathjearim, or Mahanehdan, in which Micah's house was, for as yet they were not come to it, see Judges 18:15.

b Ibid. (Travels of the Patriarchs, &c. p. 112.)
