## Judges 17:7-12 in Context (Verses 4–13 KJV)
 
 [4 ](/kjv/judges/17/4) Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred *shekels* of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/judges/17/5) And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/judges/17/6) In those days *there was* no king in Israel, *but* every man did *that which was* right in his own eyes.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/judges/17/7) ¶ And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah of the family of Judah, who *was* a Levite, and he sojourned there.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/judges/17/8) And the man departed out of the city from Beth-lehem-judah to sojourn where he could find *a place:* and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/judges/17/9) And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I *am* a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find *a place*.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/judges/17/10) And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten *shekels* of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/judges/17/11) And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/judges/17/12) And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/judges/17/13) Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to *my* priest.
