7 And there was a young Levite from Bethlehem in Judah who had been residing within the clan of Judah.

9 “Where are you from?” Micah asked him. “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah,” he replied, “and I am on my way to settle wherever I can find a place.”
10 “Stay with me,” Micah said to him, “and be my father and priest, and I will give you ten shekels of silver per year, a suit of clothes, and your provisions.” So the Levite went in
11 and agreed to stay with him, and the young man became like a son to Micah.
