Judges 18:18-20
New Century Version
18 When the spies went into Micah’s house and took the image, the holy vest, the household idols, and the statue, the priest asked them, “What are you doing?”
19 They answered, “Be quiet! Don’t say a word. Come with us and be our father and priest. Is it better for you to be a priest for one man’s house or for a tribe and family group in Israel?” 20 This made the priest happy. So he took the holy vest, the household idols, and the idol and went with the Danites.

Come with us, and be our father and priest.(D) Isn’t it better that you serve a tribe and clan(E) in Israel as priest rather than just one man’s household?” 20 The priest was very pleased.
