Laish had no relationship with anyone else

 Judges 18:1-10

And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking a place of their own where they might settle, because they had not yet come into an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. 

So the five men left and came to Laish, where they saw that the people were living in safety, like the Sidonians, at peace and secure. And since their land lacked nothing, they were prosperous. Also, they lived a long way from the Sidonians and had no relationship with anyone else.

They answered, “Come on, let’s attack them! We have seen the land, and it is very good. Aren’t you going to do something? Don’t hesitate to go there and take it over. When you get there, you will find an unsuspecting people and a spacious land that God has put into your hands, a land that lacks nothing whatever.”

Why?

1:34 The Amorites confined the Danites to the hill country, not allowing them to come down into the plain.

Danites were forced by Amorites to the hill country, they did not take their own land, but went north to get the easy land, Laish.

This Levite did not follow the word of  Moses to serve the Lord in the right place but serve to a private home. He replied to the Danites five persons  “Go in peace. Your journey has the Lord’s approval.”. Which is his own words, it is not the word of the Lord.

So it is the time of no king, no God. people do what they like to do.

How?

When there is no God, and no ruler, and is a disaster and mess place.
