When these men broke into Micah’s house and stole the carved image, the ephod, the personal idols, and the metal image, the priest said to them,“What are you doing?”
They said to him,“Shut up! Put your hand over your mouth and come with us! You can be our adviser and priest. Wouldn’t it be better to be a priest for a whole Israelite tribe than for just one man’s family?”
The priest was happy. He took the ephod, the personal idols, and the carved image and joined the group.
They turned and went on their way, but they walked behind the children, the cattle, and their possessions.
After they had gone a good distance from Micah’s house, Micah’s neighbors gathered together and caught up with the Danites.
When they called out to the Danites, the Danites turned around and said to Micah,“Why have you gathered together?”
He said,“You stole my gods that I made, as well as this priest, and then went away. What do I have left? How can you have the audacity to say to me,‘What do you want?’”
