Judges 18:27

¶ And they took [the things] which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people [that were] at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.

And they took {H3947} the things which Micah {H4318} had made {H6213}, and the priest {H3548} which he had, and came {H935} unto Laish {H3919}, unto a people {H5971} that were at quiet {H8252} and secure {H982}: and they smote {H5221} them with the edge {H6310} of the sword {H2719}, and burnt {H8313} the city {H5892} with fire {H784}.

So they took what Mikhah had made and his cohen. They came to Layish, to a quiet and trusting people. They attacked, killed them and burned down the city.

After they had taken Micah’s idols and his priest, they went to Laish, to a tranquil and unsuspecting people, and they struck them with their swords and burned down the city.

And they took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword; and they burnt the city with fire.
