Verses 40-48
The inheritance of Dan 19:40-48
Dan received territory primarily in the Shephelah and Coastal Plain west of Benjamin, between Judah and Ephraim. Its land was extremely fruitful.
"The Amorites, who settled portions of the Philistine plain (Judges 1:34), drove the Danites out of the plains and into the hills. This led to a migration of part of the tribe of Dan northward to Leshem near the northern part of Naphtali (cf. Judges 17-18)." [Note: Davis and Whitcomb, p. 83.]
Dan possessed 19 towns (Joshua 19:41-47). The record of the conquest of Leshem (Joshua 19:47, also called Laish and later Dan) is in Judges 18. [Note: See John C. H. Laughlin, "Dan," Biblical Illustrator 9:4 (Summer 1983):40-46.]
