Judges 18:17-20

17Now the five men who went to spy out the land went up and entered there; they took 1the carved image, the ephod, the 2household 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, 3household idols, and the cast metal image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?” 19And they said to him, “Be silent, 4put your hand over your mouth, and go with us, and be to us 5a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be a priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?” 20The priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, the 6household idols, and the carved image, and went among the people.
