Judges 1:31

Judges 18:28

18:28 No one came to the rescue because the city ³  was far from Sidon ⁴  and they had no dealings with anyone. ⁵  The city ⁶  was in a valley near Beth Rehob. The Danites ⁷  rebuilt the city and occupied it.

Judges 10:6

The Lord’s Patience Runs Short

10:6 The Israelites again did evil in the Lord’s sight. ⁸  They worshiped ⁹  the Baals and the Ashtars, ¹⁰  as well as the gods of Syria, Sidon, ¹¹  Moab, the Ammonites, and the Philistines. ¹²  They abandoned the Lord and did not worship ¹³  him.

Judges 18:7

18:7 So the five men journeyed on ¹⁴  and arrived in Laish. They noticed that the people there ¹⁵  were living securely, like the Sidonians do, ¹⁶  undisturbed and unsuspecting. No conqueror was troubling them in any way. ¹⁷  They lived far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone. ¹⁸

[18:7]  ¹¹ tc Heb “and a thing there was not to them with men.” Codex Alexandrinus (A) of the LXX and Symmachus read “Syria” here rather than the MT’s “men.” This reading presupposes a Hebrew Vorlage אֲרָם (’aram, “Aram,” i.e., Arameans) rather than the MT reading אָדָם (’adam). This reading is possibly to be preferred over the MT.
