Judges 17:7-13

7One day a young Levite, who had been living in Bethlehem in Judah, arrived in that area.

8He had left Bethlehem in search of another place to live, and as he traveled, he came to the hill country of Ephraim. He happened to stop at Micah’s house as he was traveling through.

9“Where are you from?” Micah asked him. He replied, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I am looking for a place to live.”

10“Stay here with me,” Micah said, “and you can be a father and priest to me. I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, plus a change of clothes and your food.”

11The Levite agreed to this, and the young man became like one of Micah’s sons.

12So Micah installed the Levite as his personal priest, and he lived in Micah’s house.

13“I know the Lord will bless me now,” Micah said, “because I have a Levite serving as my priest.”
