13 From there they crossed into the Ephraim highlands and came to Micah’s house.
14 Then the five men who had gone to spy on the land around Laish reported to their relatives, "Did you know that there is a priestly vest, divine images, a sculpted image, and a molded image in these buildings? Now think about what you should do!"
15 So they turned in there and went to the young Levite’s house in Micah’s compound and greeted him.
16 While the six hundred Danites armed for battle stood at the entrance of the gate,
17 the five men who had gone to spy on the land moved up, went inside, and took the sculpted image, the priestly vest, the divine images, and the molded image. The priest was standing at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed for battle
18 when these five entered Micah’s sanctuary and took the sculpted image, the priestly vest, the divine images, and the molded image.The priest said to them, "What are you doing?"
19 "Shut up!" they said to him. "Put your hand over your mouth! Come with us and be a father and a priest for us. Would you rather be a priest for one man’s household or a priest for a tribe and a clan in Israel?"
