Context of Judges 18:15

13From there they traveled through the Ephraimite hill country and arrived at Micah’s house. 14The five men who had gone to spy out the land of Laish said to their kinsmen, “Do you realize that inside these houses are an ephod, some personal idols, a carved image, and a metal image? Decide now what you want to do.” They stopped there, went inside the young Levite’s house (which belonged to Micah), and asked him how he was doing. 16Meanwhile the six hundred Danites, fully armed, stood at the entrance to the gate. 17The five men who had gone to spy out the land broke in and stole the carved image, the ephod, the personal idols, and the metal image, while the priest was standing at the entrance to the gate with the six hundred fully armed men.
