Judges 17:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
17 3 Micah’s mother according to her vow, made her son two idols. 5 He made his son a Priest for his idols, 10 and after he hired a Levite.
1 There [a]was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah,
2 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, for the which thou cursedst, and spakedst it, even in mine hearing, behold, the silver is with me, I took it. Then his mother said, Blessed be my son of the Lord.
3 And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had dedicate the silver to the Lord of mine hand for my son, to make [b]a graven and molten image. Now therefore I will give it thee again.
