Sexcenti autem viri tulerunt sacerdotem, et quæ supra diximus : veneruntque in Lais ad populum quiescentem atque securum, et percusserunt eos in ore gladii : urbemque incendio tradiderunt,

Vulgate

καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Δὰν ἔλαβον ὃ ἐποίησεν Μειχαίας καὶ τὸν ἱερέα ὃς ἦν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἦλθον ἐπὶ Λάισα ἐπὶ λαὸν ἡσυχάζοντα καὶ πεποιθότα ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι· καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτοὺς ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας, καὶ τὴν πόλιν ἐνέπρησαν ἐν πυρί.

LXX

And they took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword; and they burnt the city with fire.
