Judges 17:5-12

5Now the man Micah had a shrine of gods, and he made an ephod and household idols, and consecrated one of his sons to become his priest.

6In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.

7Now there was a young man from Bethlehem of Judah—of the clan of Judah—who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.

8Then the man departed from the town, from Bethlehem of Judah, to sojourn wherever he could find a place; and as he journeyed he arrived to the hill country of Ephraim to the house of Micah.

9And Micah said to him, “Where do you come from?” And he replied to him, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem of Judah, and I am travelling to stay wherever I may find a place.”

10So Micah said to him, “Stay with me and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, and a suit of apparel, and your provision.” So the Levite went in.

11And the Levite was content to stay with the man, and the young man became to him as one of his sons.

12So Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in the house of Micah.
