Judges 18:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 Then the five men that went to spy out the land, went in thither, and took the [a]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 the other went into Micah’s house, and fet the graven image, the Ephod and the Teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the Priest unto them, What do ye?
19 And they answered him, Hold thy peace: lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and come with us to be our father and Priest. Whether is it better that thou shouldest be a Priest unto the house of one man, or that thou shouldest be a Priest unto a tribe and to a family in Israel?

Judges 18:17-19
New International Version
17 The five men who had spied out the land went inside and took the idol, the ephod and the household gods(A) while the priest and the six hundred armed men(B) stood at the entrance of the gate.
18 When the five men went into Micah’s house and took(C) the idol, the ephod and the household gods,(D) the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”
19 They answered him, “Be quiet!(E) Don’t say a word. Come with us, and be our father and priest.(F) Isn’t it better that you serve a tribe and clan(G) in Israel as priest rather than just one man’s household?”
