Micah Hires a Wandering Levite

Judges 17:7-13

There was also another young man of Bethlehem Juda, of the kindred thereof: and he was a Levite, and dwelt there.

Now he went out from the city of Bethlehem, and desired to sojourn wheresoever he should find it convenient for him. And when he was come to mount Ephraim, as he was on his journey, and had turned aside a little into the house of Michas,

He was asked by him whence he came. And he answered: I am a Levite of Bethlehem Juda, and I am going to dwell where I can, and where I shall find a place to my advantage.

And Michas said: Stay with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee every year ten pieces of silver, and a double suit of apparel, and thy victuals.

He was content, and abode with the man, and was unto him as one of his sons.

And Michas filled his hand, and had the young man with him for his priest, saying:

Now I know God will do me good, since I have a priest of the race of the Levites.
