Judges 18:14-23

¹⁴And the five men who went to spy out the land of Laish answered, and said to their brethren, Ye know that there is in this place an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven and a molten image; and now consider what ye shall do.

¹⁵And they turned aside there, and went into the house of the young man, the Levite, even into the house of Micah, and asked him how he was.

¹⁶And the six hundred men of the sons of Dan who were girded with their weapons of war stood by the door of the gate.

¹⁷And the five men who went to spy out the land went up, and entered into the house of Micah, and the priest stood.

¹⁸And they took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image; and the priest said to them, What are ye doing?

¹⁹And they said to him, Be silent, lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be the priest of the house of one man, or to be the priest of a tribe and house for a family of Israel?

²⁰And the heart of the priest was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and the molten image, and went in the midst of the people.

²¹So they turned and departed, and put their children and their property and their baggage before them.

²²They went some distance from the house of Micah, and, behold, Micah and the men in the houses near Micah’s house, cried out, and overtook the children of Dan.

²³And the children of Dan turned their face, and said to Micah, What is the matter with thee that thou hast cried out?
