47The territory of the asons of Dan proceeded 1beyond them; for the sons of Dan went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. Then they struck it with the edge of the sword and possessed it and 2settled in it; and they called 3bLeshem Dan after the name of Dan their father.

48This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
