Judges 18:17-20

17The five men who had explored the land went inside. They took all the idols, the image and the priest's ephod. While they did that, the Levite priest was standing at the gate with the 600 soldiers.

18When the priest saw that the five men were taking the things from the house, he asked them, ‘What are you doing?’

19They said to him, ‘Be quiet! Do not say a word. Come with us. You will be our advisor and our priest. That will be much better for you. You will serve a whole Israelite tribe, instead of only one man's family.’

20So the priest was happy. He joined the group of men from Dan's tribe. He took the ephod, the idols and the image with him.
