Judges 18:14-21

Context
18:14 The five men who had gone to spy out the land of Laish ¹  said to their kinsmen, ²  “Do you realize that inside these houses are an ephod, some personal idols, a carved image, and a metal image? Decide now what you want to do.” 18:15 They stopped ³  there, went inside the young Levite’s house (which belonged to Micah), ⁴  and asked him how he was doing. ⁵  18:16 Meanwhile the six hundred Danites, fully armed, stood at the entrance to the gate. ⁶  18:17 The five men who had gone to spy out the land broke in and stole ⁷  the carved image, the ephod, the personal idols, and the metal image, while the priest was standing at the entrance to the gate with the six hundred fully armed men. ⁸  18:18 When these men broke into Micah’s house and stole ⁹  the carved image, the ephod, the personal idols, and the metal image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?” 18:19 They said to him, “Shut up! Put your hand over your mouth and come with us! You can be our adviser ¹⁰  and priest. Wouldn’t it be better to be a priest for a whole Israelite tribe than for just one man’s family?” ¹¹  18:20 The priest was happy. He took the ephod, the personal idols, and the carved image and joined the group. ¹² 

18:21 They turned and went on their way, but they walked behind the children, the cattle, and their possessions. ¹³
