¹⁴The five men who had explored the land around Laish said to their relatives, “Do you know in one of these houses there are a holy vest, household gods, an idol, and a statue? You know what to do.” ¹⁵So they stopped at the Levite’s house, which was also Micah’s house, and greeted the Levite. ¹⁶The six hundred Danites stood at the entrance gate, wearing their weapons of war. ¹⁷The five spies went into the house and took the idol, the holy vest, the household idols, and the statue. The priest and the six hundred men armed for war stood by the entrance gate.

¹⁸When the spies went into Micah’s house and took the image, the holy vest, the household idols, and the statue, the priest asked them, “What are you doing?”

¹⁹They answered, “Be quiet! Don’t say a word. Come with us and be our father and priest. Is it better for you to be a priest for one man’s house or for a tribe and family group in Israel?” ²⁰This made the priest happy. So he took the holy vest, the household idols, and the idol and went with the Danites.
