The man left the town of Bethlehem in Judah to stay wherever he could find a place. On his way he came to Micah’s home in the hill country of Ephraim.
“Where do you come from? ” Micah asked him.
He answered him, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I’m going to stay wherever I can find a place.”
Micah replied,[fn] “Stay with me and be my father and priest, and I will give you four ounces of silver a year, along with your clothing and provisions.” So the Levite went in
Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in Micah’s house.
Then Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will be good to me, because a Levite has become my priest.”
So the Danites sent out five brave men from all their clans, from Zorah and Eshtaol, to scout out the land and explore it. They told them, “Go and explore the land.”
They came to the hill country of Ephraim as far as the home of Micah and spent the night there.
While they were near Micah’s home, they recognized the accent of the young Levite. So they went over to him and asked, “Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What is keeping you here? ”
He told them, “This is what Micah has done for me: He has hired me, and I became his priest.”
From there they traveled to the hill country of Ephraim and arrived at Micah’s house.
So they detoured there and went to the house of the young Levite at the home of Micah and greeted him.
When they entered Micah’s house and took the carved image, the ephod, the household idols, and the silver idol, the priest said to them, “What are you doing? ”
After they were some distance from Micah’s house, the men who were in the houses near it were mustered and caught up with the Danites.
They called to the Danites, who turned to face them, and said to Micah, “What’s the matter with you that you mustered the men? ”
The Danites went on their way, and Micah turned to go back home, because he saw that they were stronger than he was.
After they had taken the gods Micah had made and the priest that belonged to him, they went to Laish, to a quiet and unsuspecting people. They killed them with their swords and burned the city.

Micaiah said, “March up and succeed, for they will be handed over to you.”
Then he commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, the court secretary Shaphan, and the king’s servant Asaiah,
