Judges 17:7-13 - Micah Hires A Professional

7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, and out of the kindreds of Judah: which young man was a Levite and sojourned there. 8 And the man departed out of the city of Bethlehem Judah, to go dwell where he could find a place. And he came to mount Ephraim, and to the house of Micah as he journeyed.

9 And Micah said unto him, "Whence comest thou?" And the Levite answered him, "I am of Bethlehem Judah, and go to dwell where I may find a place."

10 And Micah said unto him, "Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest. And I will give thee ten silverlings by year and raiment of all sorts, and thy meat and drink." 11 And the Levite went and began to dwell with the man, and was unto him as dear as one of his own sons. 12 And Micah filled the hand of the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and continued in the house of Micah. 13 Then said Micah, "Now I am sure that the LORD will be good unto me, seeing I have a Levite to my priest."
