6. In those yamim there was no melech in Yisroel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
7. Meanwhile there was a na'ar from Beit-Lechem Yehudah of the mishpakhat Yehudah, who was a Levi, and he sojourned there.
8. And the ish departed out of the Ir from Beit-Lechem Yehudah to sojourn where he could find a place; and he came to har Ephrayim to the bais Mikhay'hu, as he made his derech.
9. And Mikhay'hu said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levi of Beit-Lechem Yehudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
10. And Mikhay'hu said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me an av and a kohen, and I will give thee ten pieces of kesef a year, and a set of begadim, and mikhyah (maintenance, livelihood). So the Levi went in.
11. And the Levi agreed to dwell with the ish; and the na'ar was unto him as one of his banim.
12. And Mikhay'hu ordained (literally, filled the hands of, consecrated, appointed as his own priest) the Levi; and the na'ar became his kohen, and was in the bais Mikhay'hu.
13. Then said Mikhay'hu, Now I have da'as that Hashem will do me good, seeing I have a Levi as my kohen.
