Judges 17:5-12

5Now this manH376 MicahH4318 had a shrineH1004H430, and he madeH6213 an ephodH646 and some household idolsH8655, and ordainedH43901 oneH259 of his sonsH1121 as his priestH3548. 6In thoseH1992 daysH3117 there was noH369 kingH4428 in IsraelH3478; everyoneH376 didH6213 what was rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869.

7And there wasH1961 a youngH5288 LeviteH3881 from BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063 whoH1931 had been residingH1481H8033 within the clanH4940 of JudahH3063. 8This manH376 leftH1980 the cityH5892 of BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063 to settleH1481 whereH834 he could findH4672 a place. And as he traveledH6213H1870, he cameH935 toH5704 Micah’sH4318 houseH1004 in the hill countryH2022 of EphraimH669.

9“WhereH370 are you fromH935?” MicahH4318 askedH559 him.

“IH595 am a LeviteH3881 from BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063,” he repliedH559H413, “and IH595 am on my wayH1980 to settleH1481 whereverH834 I can find a placeH4672.”

10“StayH3427 with meH5978,” MicahH4318 saidH559 to him, “and beH1961 my fatherH1 and priestH3548, and IH595 will giveH5414 you tenH6235 shekels of silverH37012 per yearH3117, a suitH6187 of clothesH899, and your provisionsH4241.”

So the LeviteH3881 went inH1980 11and agreedH2974H3881 to stayH3427 withH854 him, and the young manH5288 becameH1961 like aH259 sonH1121 to Micah.

12MicahH4318 ordainedH4390H3027 the LeviteH3881, and the young manH5288 becameH1961 his priestH3548 and livedH1961 inH4318 his houseH1004.
