Note: the Book of Judges provides more detailed information about Dan; in Judges 1:34-36 Dan is still fighting for its tribal territory, and 5:17 indicates the tribe still holds land by the sea. In chapters 13-16, the story of Samson, Dan is oppressed by the Philistines. Eventually Samson prevails—at the coast of his life—but in chapter 18 the Danites make their move north.
