Judges 18:19-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ They told him, “Be quiet. Keep your mouth shut.^[a](A) Come with us and be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest for the house of one person or for you to be a priest for a tribe and family in Israel?” ²⁰ So the priest was pleased and took his ephod, household idols, and carved image, and went with the people. ²¹ They prepared to leave, putting their small children, livestock, and possessions in front of them.
