בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔ם אֵ֥ין מֶ֖לֶךְ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וּבַיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֗ם שֵׁ֣בֶט הַדָּנִ֞י מְבַקֶּשׁ־ל֤וֹ נַֽחֲלָה֙ לָשֶׁ֔בֶת כִּי֩ לֹֽא־נָ֨פְלָה לּ֜וֹ עַד־הַיּ֥וֹם הַה֛וּא בְּתוֹךְ־שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּנַחֲלָֽה׃ (ס)
In jener Zeit war kein König in Israel, und in jener Zeit suchte sich der Stamm Dan einen festen Besitz, denn es war ihm bis dahin noch kein Erbteil zugefallen unter den Stämmen Israels.
Rashi on Judges
As there had not fallen to their lot. A suitable inheritance for them in the conquered territory, as it is said in Yehoshua, "The boundry of Bnei Don extended from them."1Yehoshua, 19:47. See Rashi there.2When the apportioning of the land among the tribes was completed. This, too, teaches us that this episode took place at the very beginning of the period of the judges.3In addition to the evidence presented by Rashi above, 17:1.
