07_JUD_17_01 And there was A man of mount Ephraim, whose name [ was] Micah.
07_JUD_17_02 And he said unto his mother, the eleven hundred [ shekels] of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, And spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver [ Is] with me; I took it. And his mother said, blessed [ be thou] of the LORD, my son.
07_JUD_17_03 And when he had restored the eleven hundred [ shekels] of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make A graven image And A molten image: now therefore I will Restore it unto thee.
07_JUD_17_04 yet he restored the money unto his mother; And his mother took two hundred [ shekels] of silver, And gave them to the founder, who made thereof A graven image And A molten image: And they were in the house of Micah.
07_JUD_17_05 And the man Micah had an house of gods, And made an Ephod, And teraphim, And consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
07_JUD_17_06 in those days [ there was] no king in Israel, [ but] every man did [ that which was] right in his own eyes.
07_JUD_17_07 And there was A young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who [ was] A Levite, And he sojourned there.
07_JUD_17_08 And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find [A place]: And he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
07_JUD_17_09 And Micah said unto him, whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I [ am] A Levite of Bethlehemjudah, And I go to sojourn where I may find [A place].
07_JUD_17_10 And Micah said unto him, dwell with me, And be unto me A Father And A priest, And I will give thee ten [ shekels] of silver by the year, And A suit of apparel, And thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
07_JUD_17_11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; And the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
07_JUD_17_12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; And the young man became his priest, And was in the house of Micah.
07_JUD_17_13 Then said Micah, now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have A Levite to [ my] priest.
