1There was a man in the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Micah.
2He said to his mother, “The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse and even spoke it in my hearing—that silver is in my possession; I took it, but now I will return it to you.” And his mother said, “May my son be blessed by the Lord!” And his mother said, “May my son be blessed by the Lord!”
3Then he returned the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said, “I consecrate the silver to the Lord from my hand for my son, to make an idol of cast metal.”
4So when he returned the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver and gave it to the silversmith, who made it into an idol of cast metal, and it was in the house of Micah.

9Micah said to him, “From where do you come?” He replied, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to live wherever I can find a place.”

11The Levite agreed to stay with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons.
12v 5; Judg 13.25So Micah installed the Levite, and the young man became his priest and was in the house of Micah.
13Then Micah said, “Now I know that the Lord will prosper me because the Levite has become my priest.”
