Judges 17:9 in context

  1. 7There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.
  2. 8The man departed out of the city, out of Bethlehem Judah, to live where he could find a place, and he came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he traveled.
  3. 9Micah said to him, “Where did you come from?”
    He said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem Judah, and I am looking for a place to live.”
  4. 10Micah said to him, “Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver per year, a suit of clothing, and your food.” So the Levite went in.
  5. 11The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
