Judges 18:5

⁵Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the LORD’s word.”

¹⁰to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”

¹“Woe to the rebellious children”, says the LORD, “who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin;

¹²My people consult with their wooden idol, and answer to a stick of wood. Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have been unfaithful to their God.

¹⁴Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish answered and said to their brothers, “Do you know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim,^[+] and a carved image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you have to do.”

²¹For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shook the arrows back and forth. He consulted the teraphim.^[+] He looked in the liver.

¹⁵King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, the evening meal offering, the king’s burnt offering and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar will be for me to inquire by.”

¹³Then Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will do good to me, since I have a Levite as my priest.”

⁵The man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim,^[+] and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
