13
They passed there to the hill-country of Efrayim, and came to the house of Mikhah.
14
Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Layish answered, and said to their brothers, Do you know that there is in these houses an efod, and terafim, and an engraved image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what you have to do.
15
They turned aside there, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even to the house of Mikhah, and asked him of his welfare.
16
The six hundred men girt with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
17
The five men who went to spy out the land went up, and came in there, and took the engraved image, and the efod, and the terafim, and the molten image: and the Kohen stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men girt with weapons of war.
18
When these went into Mikhah's house, and fetched the engraved image, the efod, and the terafim, and the molten image, the Kohen said to them, What do you?
19
They said to him, Hold your shalom, lay your hand on your mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a Kohen: is it better for you to be Kohen to the house of one man, or to be Kohen to a tribe and a family in Yisra'el?
20
The Kohen's heart was glad, and he took the efod, and the terafim, and the engraved image, and went in the midst of the people.
21
So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the goods before them.
22
When they were a good way from the house of Mikhah, the men who were in the houses near to Mikhah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
23
They cried to the children of Dan. They turned their faces, and said to Mikhah, What ails you, that you come with such a company?
