3 Comme ils étaient près de la maison de Mica, ils reconnurent la voix du jeune Lévite, s’approchèrent et lui dirent: Qui t’a amené ici? Que fais-tu dans ce lieu? Et qu’as-tu ici?

4 Il leur répondit: Mica fait pour moi telle et telle chose, il me donne un salaire, et je lui sers de prêtre.

5 Ils lui dirent: Consulte Dieu, afin que nous sachions si notre voyage aura du succès.

6 Et le prêtre leur répondit: Allez en paix; le voyage que vous faites est sous le regard de l’Éternel.

Ils virent le peuple qui y était vivant en sécurité à la manière des Sidoniens, tranquille et sans inquiétude; il n’y avait dans le pays personne qui leur fît le moindre outrage en dominant sur eux; ils étaient éloignés des Sidoniens, et ils n’avaient pas de liaison avec d’autres hommes.
