Judges 18:14-26

14Then the fiveH2568 menH376 who wentH1980 to spyH7270 outH7270 the countryH776 of LaishH3919 1saidH559 to their kinsmenH251, “Do you knowH3045 that thereH3426 areH3426 in theseH428 housesH1004 2an ephodH646 and 3householdH8655 idolsH8655, and a carvedH6459 imageH6459 and a castH4541 metalH4541 imageH4541? NowH6258 then, considerH3045 whatH4100 you should doH6213.” 15So they turnedH5493 asideH5493 thereH8033 and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of the youngH5288 manH5288, the LeviteH3881, to the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, and askedH7592 4him howH7965 he was doingH7965. 16Meanwhile, the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 armedH2296 with their weaponsH3627 of warH4421, whoH834 were of the sonsH1121 of DanH1835, were positionedH5324 at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179. 17Now the fiveH2568 menH376 who wentH1980 to spyH7270 outH7270 the landH776 wentH5927 upH5927 and enteredH935 thereH8033; they tookH3947 5the carvedH6459 imageH6459, the ephodH646, the 6householdH8655 idolsH8655, and the castH4541 metalH4541 imageH4541, while the priestH3548 was standingH5324 at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 with the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 armedH2296 with weaponsH3627 of warH4421. 18When theseH428 men enteredH935 Micah’sH4318 houseH1004 and tookH3947 the carvedH6459 imageH6459, the ephodH646, 7householdH8655 idolsH8655, and the castH4541 metalH4541 imageH4541, the priestH3548 saidH559 to them, “WhatH4100 are you doingH6213?” 19And they saidH559 to him, “BeH2790 silentH2790, 8putH7760 your handH3027 overH5921 your mouthH6310, and goH1980 with us, and be to us 9a fatherH1 and a priestH3548. Is it betterH2896 for you to be a priestH3548 to the houseH1004 of oneH259 manH376, orH176 to be priestH3548 to a tribeH7626 and a familyH4940 in IsraelH3478?” 20The priest’sH3548 heartH3820 wasH3190 gladH3190, and he tookH3947 the ephodH646, the 10householdH8655 idolsH8655, and the carvedH6459 imageH6459, and wentH935 amongH7130 the peopleH5971.

21Then they turnedH6437 and leftH1980, and putH7760 the childrenH2945, the livestockH4735, and the valuablesH3520 in frontH6440 of them. 22When they had distancedH7368 themselvesH7368 from Micah’sH4318 houseH1004, the menH376 whoH834 were in the housesH1004 nearH5973 Micah’sH4318 houseH1004 assembledH2199 byH2199 commandH2199 and overtookH1692 the sonsH1121 of DanH1835. 23Then they calledH7121 outH7121 to the sonsH1121 of DanH1835, who turnedH5437 11aroundH6440 and saidH559 to MicahH4318, “WhatH4100 is the matter with you, that you have assembledH2199 togetherH2199?” 24And he saidH559, “You have takenH3947 my godsH430 whichH834 I madeH6213, and the priestH3548, and have goneH1980 awayH1980; whatH4100 moreH5750 do I have? So howH4100H2088 can you sayH559 to me, ‘WhatH4100 is the matter with you?’” 25Then the sonsH1121 of DanH1835 saidH559 to him, “Do not let your voiceH6963 be heardH8085 amongH5973 us, orH6435 elseH6435 12fierceH4751H5315 menH376 will attackH6293 you, and you will 13loseH622 your lifeH5315 and the livesH5315 of your householdH1004.” 26So the sonsH1121 of DanH1835 wentH1980 on their wayH1870; and when MicahH4318 sawH7200 that they were tooH4480 strongH2389 for him, he turnedH6437 and wentH7725 backH7725 to his houseH1004.
