Decide now what you want to do.” 18:15 They stopped ³  there, went inside the young Levite’s house (which belonged to Micah), ⁴  and asked him how he was doing. ⁵  18:16 Meanwhile the six hundred Danites, fully armed, stood at the entrance to the gate. ⁶  18:17 The five men who had gone to spy out the land broke in and stole ⁷  the carved image, the ephod, the personal idols, and the metal image, while the priest was standing at the entrance to the gate with the six hundred fully armed men. ⁸
