Judges 17:13
“Then said Micah, Now know I that the Lord will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.”
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Then said Micah, Now know I that the Lord will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
