他们从那里往以法莲山地去，来到米迦的住宅。
And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.
从前窥探拉亿地的五个人对他们的弟兄说，这宅子里有以弗得和家中的神像，并雕刻的像与铸成的像，你们知道吗。现在你们要想一想当怎样行。
Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.
五人就进入米迦的住宅，到了那少年利未人的房内问他好。
And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.
那六百但人各带兵器，站在门口。
And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.
那五个人进入米迦的住宅，拿出雕刻的像，以弗得，家中的神像，并铸成的像，祭司就问他们说，你们作什么呢。
And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?
他们就转身离开那里，妻子，儿女，牲畜，财物都在前头。
So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.
离米迦的住宅已远，米迦的近邻都聚集来，追赶但人，
And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
呼叫但人。但人回头问米迦说，你聚集这许多人来作什么呢。
And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?
米迦说，你们将我所作的神像和祭司都带了去，我还有所剩的吗。怎吗还问我说作什么呢。
And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee?
并无人搭救。因为离西顿远，他们又与别人没有来往。城在平原，那平原靠近伯利合。但人又在那里修城居住，
And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
