Judges 18:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ So they that were gone in took away the graven thing, the ephod, and the idols, and the molten god. And the priest said to them: What are you doing?

¹⁹ And they said to him: Hold thy peace and put thy finger on thy mouth and come with us, that we may have thee for a father, and a priest. Whether is better for thee, to be a priest in the house of one man, or in a tribe and family in Israel?

²⁰ When he had heard this, he agreed to their words, and took the ephod, and the idols, and the graven god, and departed with them.
