Judges 18:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ When these men went into the house of Micah and took the carved idol, ephod, household idols, and the metal idol, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”

¹⁹ They said to him, “Quiet! Put your hand over your mouth and go with us. Be a father and priest for us. Is it better to be a priest for one man’s house or for a tribe and a family in Israel?” ²⁰ So the priest’s heart was glad. He took the ephod, the household idols, and the carved image and went among the people.
