Judg 18:27-28 | MHM | STEP | The Conquest of Laish This section tells how the people of Dan conquered the city of Laish and settled there. It also shows how, even after receiving God’s blessing, they fell into idolatry by setting up Micah’s images. The story is a warning about the dangers of false religion and how easily people can forget God’s commands when things seem to be going well. v. 27 : The Danites marched on and attacked Laish. The people of Laish were quiet and unprepared, not expecting any danger. Because they were careless and did not watch for enemies, the Danites easily defeated them. Many people are destroyed because they feel safe and do not guard themselves against trouble. As the Bible says, happy is the man that feareth always (Proverbs 28:14 ). v. 27–28 : The Danites killed all the people and burned the city. They took over the land and rebuilt the city for themselves. There was no one to help Laish, and the Danites met no resistance. This happened because the Canaanites’ sins had reached their limit, and God allowed the Danites to take their place (Judges 18:27-28 ).

v. 27: The Danites marched on and attacked Laish. The people of Laish were quiet and unprepared, not expecting any danger. Because they were careless and did not watch for enemies, the Danites easily defeated them. Many people are destroyed because they feel safe and do not guard themselves against trouble. As the Bible says, happy is the man that feareth always (Proverbs 28:14 ^a).

v. 27–28: The Danites killed all the people and burned the city. They took over the land and rebuilt the city for themselves. There was no one to help Laish, and the Danites met no resistance.
