    13 From there they continued on to the hill country of Ephraim and arrived at Micah's house.

    14 Then the five men who had gone to scout out the land of Laish said to their fellow Danites, 'Do you know that in these houses there's an ephod, household gods, a carved image, and a cast idol? Now think about what you should do.'

    15 So they turned aside there and went to the house of the young Levite, at Micah's house, and asked him how he was doing.

    16 The six hundred men of the Danites, armed with their weapons of war, were standing at the entrance of the gate.

    17 The five men who had gone to scout the land went inside and took the carved image, the ephod, the household gods, and the cast idol, while the priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred armed men.

    18 When they entered Micah's house and took the carved image, the ephod, the household gods, and the cast idol, the priest said to them, 'What are you doing?'

    19 They answered him, 'Be quiet! Put your hand over your mouth and come with us. Be a father and a priest to us. Isn’t it better for you to be a priest for a tribe and a clan in Israel rather than for one man's household?'

    20 The priest was glad in his heart. He took the ephod, the household gods, and the carved image and went along with the people.

    21 They turned and left, placing the children, the livestock, and their goods in front of them.

    22 When they had gone some distance from Micah’s house, the men who lived near Micah gathered together and overtook the Danites.

    23 They called out to the Danites, who turned to face them, and said to Micah, 'What’s the matter with you, that you have called your men together?'

    26 So the Danites continued on their way, and when Micah saw that they were stronger than he was, he turned and went back to his house.

    27 The Danites took what Micah had made, along with his priest, and came to Laish, to a peaceful and unsuspecting people. They struck them down with the sword and burned the city with fire.

    3 As they were near Micah's house, they recognized the voice of the young Levite. They turned aside and said to him, 'Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? And what is your purpose here?'

    4 He said to them, 'Micah did such and such for me. He hired me, and I became his priest.'

    5 They said to him, 'Please inquire of God so that we may know whether our journey will be successful.'

    3 Then he returned the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said, 'I hereby consecrate this silver to the LORD for my son, to make a carved image and a cast idol. I will now return it to you.'
