Scofield Reference Notes

Margin tribe

There is here no mourning for sin, no humbling because of national transgression, no return to Jehovah. Accordingly, no word from Jehovah comes to them. They act wholly in self-will (Jud 21:10). CF. 21:10 Dan 9:3-13.

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 21:2 So the people came to Bethel and sat there before God until evening, and lifted up their voices and wept bitterly.
