New Living Translation
Judges 18:17-20
17the five scouts entered the shrine and removed the carved image, the sacred ephod, the household idols, and the cast idol. Meanwhile, the priest was standing at the gate with the 600 armed warriors.
18When the priest saw the men carrying all the sacred objects out of Micah’s shrine, he said, “What are you doing?”
19“Be quiet and come with us,” they said. “Be a father and priest to all of us. Isn’t it better to be a priest for an entire tribe and clan of Israel than for the household of just one man?”
20The young priest was quite happy to go with them, so he took along the sacred ephod, the household idols, and the carved image.
