47 (The Danites failed to conquer their territory,[a] so they went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. They put the sword to it, took possession of it, and lived in it. They renamed it[b] Dan after their ancestor.[c]) 48 This was the land assigned to the tribe of Dan[d] by its clans, including these cities and their towns.
