Judges 18:18-20

New American Standard Bible

¹⁸ When these men entered Micah’s house and took the carved image, the ephod, ^[a]household idols, and the cast metal image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?” ¹⁹ And they said to him, “Be silent, ^(A)put your hand over your mouth, and go with us, and be to us ^(B)a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be a priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?” ²⁰ The priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, the ^[b]household idols, and the carved image, and went among the people.
