Judges 17:1-6 TPT

There was a man named Micah from the hill country of Ephraim. He said to his mother, “When someone stole your eleven hundred shekels of silver, I overheard you speak a curse over the thief. Well, it turns out, I have the money. I’m the one who took it. Here—I’m bringing it back.” Immediately, his mother, wanting to revoke her curse, said: “O my son! May YAHWEH bless you!” So he returned the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, but she said to him, “I give it back to you, for I solemnly dedicate this silver to YAHWEH for my son to make a carved image, an idol covered with silver.” So from the silver he returned to his mother, she took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a silversmith, who molded them into an idol and overlaid the idol with silver. Micah kept the idol in his house. Now Micah had a shrine, and he made some idols and a counterfeit ephod and ordained one of his sons as his priest. In those days, Israel had no king. People did whatever they wanted to do.
