Judges 18:18-19

English Standard Version

¹⁸ And when these went into Micah's house and took ^(A)the carved image, the ephod, the household gods, and the metal image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?” ¹⁹ And they said to him, “Keep quiet; ^(B)put your hand on your mouth and come with us and be to us ^(C)a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and clan in Israel?”
