Judges 18:14-18

14Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish 1said to their kinsmen, “Do you know that there are in these houses 2an ephod and 3household idols, and a carved image and a cast metal image? Now then, consider what you should do.”

15So they turned aside there and came to the house of the young man, the Levite, to the house of Micah, and asked 4him how he was doing.

16Meanwhile, the six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the sons of Dan, were positioned at the entrance of the gate.

17Now the five men who went to spy out the land went up and entered there; they took 5the carved image, the ephod, the 6household idols, and the cast metal image, while the priest was standing at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.

18When these men entered Micah’s house and took the carved image, the ephod, 7household idols, and the cast metal image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”
