Judges 18:16-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
16
Meanwhile, the six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the sons of Dan, were positioned at the entrance of the gate.
17
Now the five men who went to spy out the land went up
and
entered there; they took the carved image, the ephod, the household idols, and the cast metal image, while the priest was standing at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
18
When these
men
entered Micah’s house and took the carved image, the ephod, household idols, and the cast metal image, the priest said to them, 'What are you doing?'
19
And they said to him, 'Be silent, put your hand over your mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be a priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?'
20
The priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, the household idols, and the carved image, and went among the people.
21
Then they turned and left, and put the children, the livestock, and the valuables in front of them.
22
When they had distanced themselves from Micah’s house, the men who
were
in the houses near Micah’s house assembled by command and overtook the sons of Dan.
King James Version
Chapter 18
16
And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.
17
And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.
18
And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?
19
And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
20
And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven 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 carriage before them.
22
And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 18
16
The six hundred Danite men were standing by the entrance of the city gate, armed with their weapons of war.
17
Then the five men who had gone to scout out the land went in and took the carved image, the ephod, the household idols, and the silver idol, while the priest was standing by the entrance of the city gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
18
When they entered Micah’s house and took the carved image, the ephod, the household idols, and the silver idol, the priest said to them, "What are you doing?"
19
They told him, "Be quiet. Keep your mouth shut. 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 for you to be a priest for a tribe and family in Israel?"
20
So the priest was pleased and took his ephod, household idols, and carved image, and went with the people.
21
They prepared to leave, putting their dependents, livestock, and possessions in front of them.
22
After they were some distance from Micah’s house, the men who were in the houses near it were mustered and caught up with the Danites.
New Living Translation
Chapter 18
16
As the 600 armed warriors from the tribe of Dan stood at the entrance of the gate,
17
the five scouts entered the shrine and removed the carved image, the sacred ephod, the household idols, and the cast idol. Meanwhile, the priest was standing at the gate with the 600 armed warriors.
18
When the priest saw the men carrying all the sacred objects out of Micah’s shrine, he said, 'What are you doing?'
19
Be quiet and come with us,' they said. 'Be a father and priest to all of us. Isn’t it better to be a priest for an entire tribe and clan of Israel than for the household of just one man?'
20
The young priest was quite happy to go with them, so he took along the sacred ephod, the household idols, and the carved image.
21
They turned and started on their way again, placing their children, livestock, and possessions in front of them.
22
When the people from the tribe of Dan were quite a distance from Micah’s house, the people who lived near Micah came chasing after them.

New International Version
Chapter 18
16
The six hundred Danites, armed for battle, stood at the entrance of the gate.
17
The five men who had spied out the land went inside and took the idol, the ephod and the household gods while the priest and the six hundred armed men stood at the entrance of the gate.
18
When the five men went into Micah’s house and took the idol, the ephod and the household gods, the priest said to them, "What are you doing?"
19
They answered him, "Be quiet! Don’t say a word. Come with us, and be our father and priest. Isn’t it better that you serve a tribe and clan in Israel as priest rather than just one man’s household?"
20
The priest was very pleased. He took the ephod, the household gods and the idol and went along with the people.
21
Putting their little children, their livestock and their possessions in front of them, they turned away and left.
22
When they had gone some distance from Micah’s house, the men who lived near Micah were called together and overtook the Danites.

of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
17
Then the five men who had gone to spy out the land went up. Entering there, they took the carved image, the ephod, the household idols, and the molded image. The priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men
who were
armed with weapons of war.
18
When these went into Micah’s house and took the carved image, the ephod, the household idols, and the molded image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”

Is it
better for you to be a priest to the household of one man, or that you be a priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?”
20
So the priest’s heart was glad; and he took the ephod, the household idols, and the carved image, and took his place among the people.
21
Then they turned and departed, and put the little ones, the livestock, and the goods in front of them.
22
When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men who
were
in the houses near Micah’s house gathered together and overtook the children of Dan.
