Wesley's Notes

18:17 Thither - Into the house, and that part of it, where those things were. The gate - Whither they had drawn him forth, that they might without noise or hindrance take them away.

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.


Genesis 31:19 When Laban had gone to shear his flock, then Rachel stole the household idols that were her father's.

Isaiah 41:29 "Behold, all of them are false; Their works are worthless, Their molten images are wind and emptiness.
