Judges 18:7

And the five men went on and came to Laish [in the north].
[Hebr. lajish means "full-grown lion." The city is also called Leshem, see Josh. 19:47. It is located at the foot of Mount Hermon in the northernmost part of Israel. The area is fertile and there is plenty of water from the headwaters of the Jordan River. The city is later named Dan, see verse 29. In Moses' blessing over Dan, the wording is that Dan shall be a lion cub leaping forth in Bashan (which is another name for the same area), see Deut. 33:22.]
The [five spies] saw the people who were there, [they] lived securely under the Sidonians' decree (binding legal decision – Hebr. mishpat) [were under their military protection], had peace and security, and no one dishonored them in the land [through any attack, see Isa. 45:17; 50:7; 54:4; Prov 25:8; Ps. 44:10] and no controlling government (Hebr. etser, found only here) and they were far from the Sidonians, and they had no contact with other people [literally: "no one spoke to them with a man"].

καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ πέντε ἄνδρες καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Λαισα καὶ εἶδαν τὸν λαὸν τὸν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς καθήμενον ἐπ᾽ ἐλπίδι ὡς κρίσις Σιδωνίων ἡσυχάζουσα καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν διατρέπων ἢ καταισχύνων λόγον ἐν τῇ γῇ κληρονόμος ἐκπιέζων θησαυροῦ καὶ μακράν εἰσιν Σιδωνίων καὶ λόγον οὐκ ἔχουσιν πρὸς ἄνθρωπον
