20The priest`s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the engraved image, and went in the midst of the people.
21So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the goods before them.
22When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near to Micah`s house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
23They cried to the children of Dan. They turned their faces, and said to Micah, What ails you, that you come with such a company?
24He said, you have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and are gone away, and what have I more? and how then say you to me, What ails you?
25The children of Dan said to him, "Don`t let your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall on you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household."
26The children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
