6 There was no king in Israel at that time; all the people did just as they pleased.
7 At that same time there was a young Levite who had been living in the town of Bethlehem in Judah.
8 He left Bethlehem to find somewhere else to live. While he was travelling, he came to Micah's house in the hill country of Ephraim.
9 Micah asked him, “Where do you come from?”He answered, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah. I am looking for somewhere to live.”
10 Micah said, “Stay with me. Be my adviser and priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, some clothes, and your food.”
11 The young Levite agreed to stay with Micah and became like a son to him.
12 Micah appointed him as his priest, and he lived in Micah's home.
