New King James Version

Judges 17:7-9 New King James Version (NKJV)

7. Now there was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah; he was a Levite, and was staying there.

8. The man departed from the city of Bethlehem in Judah to stay wherever he could find a place. Then he came to the mountains of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.

9. And Micah said to him, “Where do you come from?”So he said to him, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I am on my way to find a place to stay.”
