The children of Dan come to Laish, strike the people, build the city, and call it Dan
단 자손이 라이스에 이르러 백성을 치고 성읍을 중건하여 단이라 한 일
Judges 18:27–29: the children of Dan take that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and come to Laish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and strike them with the edge of the sword; then they burn the city with fire. There is no deliverer, because it is far from Sidon, and they have no dealings with anyone else; and it is in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. The children of Dan build the city and live in it. They call the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel; however the name of the city used to be Laish.
