Judges 18:1

¹בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם אֵין מֶלֶךְ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וּבַיָּמִים הָהֵם שֵׁבֶט הַדָּנִי מְבַקֶּשׁ־לוֹ נַחֲלָה לָשֶׁבֶת כִּי לֹא־נָפְלָה לּוֹ עַד־הַיּוֹם הַהוּא בְּתוֹךְ־שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּנַחֲלָה ׃ ס

Judges 18 narrates the migration of the tribe of Dan, who, seeking a new territory, encounter a Levite named Micah and his idolatrous worship. They persuade the Levite to join them, stealing Micah's idols and priestly vestments. The Danites then conquer the peaceful and unsuspecting city of Laish, renaming it Dan, and establish a permanent center for idolatry with Micah's stolen cult objects and the Levite as their priest. This chapter highlights Israel's spiritual decline and the breakdown of tribal order.
