 The Tribe of Dan then rebuilt the town, named it Dan, installed the idols, and made Jonathan the son of Gershom, and his descendants, the priest.This is presumably the Levite who has featured in the story, but his name had been withheld.Gershom and his sons were priests until "the captivity of the land" and the idols remained in use as long as "the house of God was at Shiloh".
