This verse, with its notes about Laish, is stressing that this spacious, isolated land is vulnerable and easy to attack. This points to the cowardice of the Danites. Yet from their perspective, God has blessed their journey by giving them a place ripe for conquest!
7 Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and unsuspecting, lacking nothing that is in the earth and possessing wealth, and how they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone.
