Judges 18:27-28
Laish <03919> [Laish.]
struck <05221> [they smote.]
burned <08313> [burnt.]
rescue <05337> [And there.]
far ... Sidon <07350 06721> [far from.]
Probably the people of Laish were originally a colony of the Zidonians; who being an opulent people, and in possession of a strong city, lived in a state of security, not being afraid of their neighbours. In this the Leshemites imitated them, though they appear not to have had the same reason for their confidence; and though they might naturally expect help from their countrymen, yet as they lived at a considerable distance from Sidon, the Danites saw they could strike the blow before the news of the invasion could reach that city.
