But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti son of Laish, who was from Gallim.

So Ish-bosheth sent and took Michal from her husband Paltiel son of Laish.

Cry aloud, O Daughter of Gallim!Listen, O Laishah!O wretched Anathoth!

So the five men departed and came to Laish, where they saw that the people were living securely, like the Sidonians, tranquil and unsuspecting. There was nothing lacking in the land and no oppressive ruler. And they were far away from the Sidonians and had no alliance with anyone.

Then the five men who had gone to spy out the land of Laish said to their brothers, “Did you know that one of these houses has an ephod, household gods, a graven image, and a molten idol? Now think about what you should do.”
