Judges 17:1-8

[1] And there was a man  of mount  Ephraim,  whose name  [2] And he said  unto his mother,  The eleven hundred  shekels of silver  that were taken  from thee, about which thou cursedst,  and spakest  of also in mine ears,  behold, the silver  is with me; I took  it. And his mother  said,  Blessed  be thou of the LORD,  my son.  [3] And when he had restored  the eleven hundred  shekels of silver  to his mother,  said,  I had wholly  the silver  unto the LORD  from my hand  for my son,  to make  a graven image  and a molten image:  now therefore I will restore  it unto thee. [4] Yet he restored  the money  unto his mother;  took  two hundred  shekels of silver,  and gave  them to the founder,  who made  thereof a graven image  and a molten image:  and they were in the house  [5] And the man  Micah  had an house  of gods,  and made  an ephod,  and teraphim,  and consecrated  one  of his sons,  who became his priest.  [6] In those days  there was no king  in Israel,  but every man  did  that which was right  in his own eyes.  [7] And there was a young man  out of Bethlehemjudah  of the family  of Judah,  who was a Levite,  and he sojourned  there. [8] And the man  out of the city  from Bethlehemjudah  to sojourn  where he could find  a place: and he came  to mount  Ephraim  to the house  of Micah,  as he journeyed.
