Judges 17:8-11

Living Bible

^7-8 One day a young priest^[a] from the town of Bethlehem, in Judah, arrived in that area of Ephraim, looking for a good place to live. He happened to stop at Micah’s house as he was traveling through.

⁹ “Where are you from?” Micah asked him.

And he replied, “I am a priest from Bethlehem, in Judah, and I am looking for a place to live.”

^10-11 “Well, stay here with me,” Micah said, “and you can be my priest. I will give you one hundred dollars a year plus a new suit and your board and room.” The young man agreed to this and became as one of Micah’s sons.
