Judges 18:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ The five men who had explored the land went inside. They took all the idols, the image and the priest's ephod. While they did that, the Levite priest was standing at the gate with the 600 soldiers.

¹⁸ When the priest saw that the five men were taking the things from the house, he asked them, ‘What are you doing?’ ¹⁹ They said to him, ‘Be quiet! Do not say a word. Come with us. You will be our advisor and our priest. That will be much better for you. You will serve a whole Israelite tribe, instead of only one man's family.’
