Judges 18:18-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁸ And when these went into Micah’s house and took the carved image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, What are you doing?

¹⁹ And they said to him, Be still, put your hand over your mouth, and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be a priest to the house of one man, or that you be a priest to a tribe and family in Israel?

²⁰ And the priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
