Judges 17 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Micah hires a Levite to be his priest.

Micah thought it was a sign of God's favour to him and his images, that a Levite should come to his door. Thus those who please themselves with their own delusions, if Providence unexpectedly bring any thing to their hands that further them in their evil way, are apt from thence to think that God is pleased with them.
