Judges 17:5

Micah's Idolatry

⁴ When he returned the pieces of silver to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and she gave it to the smith, and he made it [into] an idol of cast metal; and it was in the house of Micah. ⁵ The man Micah had for himself {a shrine}, and he made an ephod and teraphim, and {he appointed one of his sons} who became a priest for him. ⁶ In those days there was no king in Israel, and each one did what was right in his own eyes.
