*
Then the five men who had gone to spy out the country of Laish answered and said to their brethren , "
Do you know that there are in these houses an ephod ,
household idols ,
a carved image ,
and a molded image ?
Now therefore ,
consider what you should do ."
*
So they turned aside there ,
and came to the house of the young Levite man--to the house of Micah--and greeted him .
*
The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war ,
who were of the children of Dan ,
stood by the entrance of the gate .
*
Then the five men who had gone to spy out the land went up .
Entering there ,
they took the carved image ,
the ephod ,
the household idols ,
and the molded image .
The priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men who were armed with weapons of war .
*
When these went into Micah '
s house and took the carved image ,
the ephod ,
the household idols ,
and the molded image ,
the priest said to them , "
What are you doing ?"
*
And they said to him , "
Be quiet ,
put your hand over your mouth ,
and come with us ;
be a father and a priest to us .
Is it better for you to be a priest to the household of one man ,
or that you be a priest to a tribe and a family in Israel ?"
*
So the priest '
s heart was glad ;
and he took the ephod ,
the household idols ,
and the carved image ,
and took his place among the people .
*
Then they turned and departed ,
and put the little ones ,
the livestock ,
and the goods in front of them .
