Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

The Levite was content - He thought the place a good one, and the wages respectable.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And the Levite was content to dwell with the man,.... To continue with him; after he had made trial for some time, he liked his service, and his wages, and way of living; it was all agreeable to him:

and the young man was unto him as one of his sons; as dearly beloved by him, and used as kindly and tenderly, as if he had been one of his own children; so strong were the affections of Micah to him, and so well pleased was he with his service.


Geneva Study Bible

And the Levite was {h} content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.

(h) Not considering that he forsook the true worship of God to maintain his own belly.


Wesley's Notes

17:11 Content - Being infected with the common superstition and idolatry of the times. His sons - That is, treated with the same degree of kindness and affection.


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

17:7-13 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.


Judges 17:10 Then Micah said to him, "Live with me and be my father and priest, and I'll give you ten shekels of silver a year, your clothes and your food."
Judges 17:12 Then Micah installed the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in his house.
