Levite Micah Priest Prosper Seeing

17:13 Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me {i} good, seeing I have a Levite to [my] priest.

(i) Thus the idolaters persuade themselves of God's favour, when indeed he detests them.

17:13 Do me good - I am assured God will bless me. So blind and grossly partial he was in his judgment, to think that one right circumstance would answer for all his substantial errors, in making and worshipping images against God's express command, in worshipping God in a forbidden place, by a priest illegally appointed.

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.
