19And they said to him, Be quiet; say nothing, and come with us and be our father and priest; is it better for you to be priest to one man's house or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?
20Then the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod and the family gods and the pictured image and went with the people.
21So they went on their way again, putting the little ones and the oxen and the goods in front of them.
22When they had gone some way from the house of Micah, the men from the houses near Micah's house came together and overtook the children of Dan,
23Crying out to them. And the Danites, turning round, said to Micah, What is your trouble, that you have taken up arms?
24And he said, You have taken my gods which I made, and my priest, and have gone away; what is there for me now? Why then do you say to me, What is your trouble?
25And the children of Dan said to him, Say no more, or men of bitter spirit may make an attack on you, causing loss of your life and the lives of your people.
