After they had gone a good distance from Micah’s house, Micah’s neighbors gathered together and caught up with the Danites.

From there they traveled through the Ephraimite hill country and arrived at Micah’s house.

Now this man Micah owned a shrine. He made an ephod and some personal idols and hired one of his sons to serve as a priest.

This man left the town of Bethlehem in Judah to find another place to live. He came to the Ephraimite hill country and made his way to Micah’s house.

Micah said to him, “Where do you come from?” He replied, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah. I am looking for a new place to live.”

Micah said, “Now I know God will make me rich, because I have this Levite as my priest.”

When these men broke into Micah’s house and stole the carved image, the ephod, the personal idols, and the metal image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”

The Danites went on their way; when Micah realized they were too strong to resist, he turned around and went home.

They worshiped Micah’s carved image the whole time God’s authorized shrine was in Shiloh.
