6 In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did whatever he wanted.
7 There was a young man, a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, who resided within the clan of Judah.
8 The man left the town of Bethlehem in Judah to settle wherever he could find a place. On his way he came to Micah’s home in the hill country of Ephraim.
9 “Where do you come from? ” Micah asked him.He answered him, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I’m going to settle wherever I can find a place.”
10 Micah replied, “Stay with me and be my father and priest, and I will give you four ounces of silver a year, along with your clothing and provisions.” So the Levite went in
11 and agreed to stay with the man, and the young man became like one of his sons.
12 Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in Micah’s house.
