26 The children of Dan went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.

28 There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone else; and it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. They built the city and lived in it.
