'Hired' in the Bible

And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.

Now this man Micah owned a shrine. He made an ephod and some personal idols and hired one of his sons to serve as a priest.

And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.
