What is happening here?

The spies discover the quiet city of Laish and, on the way back with six hundred armed Danites, return to Micah’s house. They steal his idols and persuade his Levite to become priest for a tribe rather than one household. Dan conquers Laish, renames it Dan, and establishes the stolen image and a continuing line of priests.
