And they went up, and encamped in Cariathiarim in Juda; therefore it was called in that place the camp of Dan, until this day: behold, behind Cariathiarim.
13
And they went on thence to the mount of Ephraim, and came to the house of Michaias.
14
And the five men who went to spy out the land of Laisa answered, and said to their brethren, Ye know that there is in this place an ephod, and theraphin, and a graven and a molten image; and now consider what ye shall do.
15
And they turned aside there, and went into the house of the young man, the Levite, into the house of Michaias, and asked him how he was.
16
And the six hundred men of the sons of Dan who were girded with their weapons of war stood by the door of the gate.
17
And the five men who went to spy out the land went up, and entered into the house of Michaias, and the priest stood.
18
And they took the graven image, and the ephod, and the theraphin, and the molten image; and the priest said to them, What are ye doing?
19
And they said to him, Be silent, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest: better for thee to be the priest of the house of one man, or to be the priest of a tribe and house for a family of Israel?
20
And the heart of the priest was glad, and he took the ephod, and the theraphin, and the graven image, and the molten image, and went in the midst of the people.
21
So they turned and departed, and put their children and their property and their baggage before them.
22
They went some distance from the house of Michaias, and, behold, Michaias and the men in the houses near Michaias' house, cried out, and overtook the children of Dan.
