Contextual Overview
7 So the five men left. When they came to the city of Laish, they saw that the people there lived in safety, like the people of Sidon. They thought they were safe and had plenty of everything. They lived a long way from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone else. 8 When the five men returned to Zorah and Eshtaol, their relatives asked them, "What did you find?" 9 They answered, "We have seen the land, and it is very good. We should attack them. Aren't you going to do something? Don't wait! Let's go and take that land! 10 When you go, you will see there is plenty of land—plenty of everything! The people are not expecting an attack. Surely God has handed that land over to us!" 11 So six hundred Danites left Zorah and Eshtaol ready for war. 12 On their way they set up camp near the city of Kiriath Jearim in Judah. That is why the place west of Kiriath Jearim is named Mahaneh Dan to this day. 13 From there they traveled on to the mountains of Ephraim. Then they came to Micah'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.
