2 And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred [shekels] of silver that were taken from you, about which you cursed, and spoke of also in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed [be you] of YAHWEH, my son.
SHOPHETIM - JUDGES 17:3
3 And when he had restored the eleven hundred [shekels] of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver to YAHWEH from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it to you.
SHOPHETIM - JUDGES 17:4
4 Yet he restored the money to his mother; and his mother took two hundred [shekels] of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
