Giudici 18:20 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 18:20

And the priest's heart was glad
He rejoiced that such an opportunity offered; it suited well with his covetous, ambitious, rambling, and unsettled disposition of mind:

and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image;
and no doubt the molten image also, out of the hands of the five men into his own, agreeing to go with them, and officiate for them:

and went in the midst of the people;
the six hundred armed men, either for the security of himself, if Micah should raise his servants, and his neighbours, to pursue after him, and fetch him back, with his images; or, as others think, in imitation of the priests bearing the ark, who in journeying marched in the middle of the camp.

Giudici 18:20 In-Context

18 E quando furono entrati in casa di Mica ed ebbero preso l’immagine scolpita, l’efod, gl’idoli e l’immagine di getto, il sacerdote disse loro: "Che fate?"
19 Quelli gli risposero: "Taci, mettiti la mano sulla bocca, vieni con noi, e sarai per noi un padre e un sacerdote. Che è meglio per te, esser sacerdote in casa d’un uomo solo, ovvero esser sacerdote di una tribù e d’una famiglia in Israele?"
20 Il sacerdote si rallegrò in cuor suo; prese l’efod, gl’idoli e l’immagine scolpita, e s’unì a quella gente.
21 Così si rimisero in cammino, mettendo innanzi a loro i bambini, il bestiame e i bagagli.
22 Com’erano già lungi dalla casa di Mica, la gente che abitava nelle case vicine a quella di Mica, si radunò e inseguì i figliuoli di Dan.
