Bible Versions
And the coast of the children of Dan went out [too little] for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.
And the coast {H1366} of the children {H1121} of Dan {H1835} went out {H3318} too little for them: therefore the children {H1121} of Dan {H1835} went up {H5927} to fight {H3898} against Leshem {H3959}, and took {H3920} it, and smote {H5221} it with the edge {H6310} of the sword {H2719}, and possessed {H3423} it, and dwelt {H3427} therein, and called {H7121} Leshem {H3959}, Dan {H1835}, after the name {H8034} of Dan {H1835} their father {H1}.
The territory of the descendants of Dan was too small for them, so the descendants of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, captured it, defeated it by the sword, took possession of it and lived there, calling Leshem "Dan" after Dan their ancestor.
(Later, when the territory of the Danites was lost to them, they went up and fought against Leshem, captured it, and put it to the sword. So they took possession of Leshem, settled there, and renamed it after their father Dan.)
And the border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.
