Judges 18 — Context

19

They said to him, "Be silent, 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 to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?"

20

The priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod and household idols and the graven image and went among the people.

21

Then they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the livestock and the valuables in front of them.

22

When they had gone some distance from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah's house assembled and overtook the sons of Dan.

23

They cried to the sons of Dan, who turned around and said to Micah, "What is the matter with you, that you have assembled together?"

24

He said, "You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away, and what do I have besides? So how can you say to me, 'What is the matter with you?'"

25

The sons of Dan said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, or else fierce men will fall upon you and you will lose your life, with the lives of your household."
