“So the priest was glad and took the ephod, the household idols, and the graven image, and went with the people.”
Judges 18:20 (BSB)
Context Reading
18When they entered Micah’s house and took the graven image, the ephod, the household idols, and the molten idol, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?” 19“Be quiet,” they told him. “Put your hand over your mouth and come with us and be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest for the house of one person or a priest for a tribe and family in Israel?” 20So the priest was glad and took the ephod, the household idols, and the graven image, and went with the people. 21Putting their small children, their livestock, and their possessions in front of them, they turned and departed. 22After they were some distance from Micah’s house, the men in the houses near Micah’s house mobilized and overtook the Danites.
