Judges 17:7-9

7 Now there was a young man from 1Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he was staying there.
8 Then the man departed from the city, from Bethlehem in Judah, to stay wherever he might find a place; and as he made his journey, he came to the 2hill country of Ephraim to the house of Micah.
9 Micah said to him, "Where do you come from?" And he said to him, "I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to stay wherever I may find a place."
