Micah restores the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother gives two hundred pieces to a silversmith
미가가 은 일천 일백을 어미에게 도로 주고 어미가 그 은 이백을 은장색에게 줌
Judges 17:1–4: there is a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name is Micah. He says to his mother, “The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears—behold, the silver is with me. I took it.” His mother says, “May the LORD bless my son!” Micah restores the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, then his mother says, “I most certainly dedicate the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a carved image and a molten image. Now therefore I will restore it to you.” When Micah restores the money to his mother, his mother takes two hundred pieces of silver, and gives them to a silversmith, who makes a carved image and a molten image out of it. It is in the house of Micah. In the Korean Revised Version Micah says at 17:2 that his mother lost the silver (잃어버리셨으므로), and 17:4 does not say that the silversmith made the images.
