Judges 17:10

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

Be unto me a father and a priest - Thou shalt be master of my house, as if thou wert my father; and, as priest, thou shalt appear in the presence of God for me. The term father is often used to express honor and reverence.

Ten shekels of silver - About thirty shillings per annum, with board, lodging, and clothes. Very good wages in those early times.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Ten shekels - About 25 shillings to 26 shillings (see Exodus 38:24).

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
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.
