Judges 18:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ “Well, then,” they said, “ask God whether or not our trip will be successful.”

⁶ “Yes,” the priest replied, “all is well. The Lord is taking care of you.”

⁷ So the five men went on to the town of Laish and noticed how secure everyone felt. Their manner of life was Phoenician, and they were wealthy. They lived quietly and were unprepared for an attack, for there were no tribes in the area strong enough to try it. They lived a great distance from their relatives in Sidon, and had little or no contact with the nearby villages.
