1 Sdc 17, 1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah. 2 Sdc 17, 2 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son. 3 Sdc 17, 3 And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee. 4 Sdc 17, 4 Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah. 5 Sdc 17, 5 And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. 6 Sdc 17, 6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes. 7 Sdc 17, 7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. 8 Sdc 17, 8 And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed. 9 Sdc 17, 9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place. 10 Sdc 17, 10 And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in. 11 Sdc 17, 11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons. 12 Sdc 17, 12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. 13 Sdc 17, 13 Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.

Verš 6
In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Sdc 18:1 - In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
Sdc 21:25 - In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Sdc 17,1 - Nasledujúce kapitoly sú obrazom rýchleho duchovného úpadku Izraela po smrti Jozueho. Tu spomínané udalosti treba časove umiestiť krátko po smrti Jozueho, teda ešte pred dobu Sudcov. (Spomína sa tu Finés, súčasník Jozueho, porov. 20,28 s Joz 22,13) – Micha (hebr. Michejahú) znamená: Kto je ako Jahve?
Sdc 17,2 - Miesto "ktoré ti vzali" má Vg: "ktoré si si oddelila". Matka prekliala neznámeho zlodeja, ktorý jej bol ukradol veľkú sumu, (1 100 strieborných šeklov je asi 15 kg striebra; porov. 16,5) pred vlastným synom, o ktorom ani netušila, že on bol tým zlodejom. Matka i syn boli presvedčení, že kliatba i požehnanie pôsobia neomylne. Preto syn hneď peniaze vracia matke, aby ho kliatba nezastihla, a matka zas kliatbu odvoláva a zvoláva požehnanie na svojho syna.
Sdc 17,3 - Modla s obťahom (Vg: "socha vyrezávaná a liata"; hebr. "pesel umassécha"). – "Pesel" je socha vyrezaná z dreva alebo vykresaná z kameňa; "massécha" je socha zo zlata alebo zo striebra. Oba hebr. výrazy (pesel a massécha) tu znamenajú len jednu sochu, t. j. drevenú (bola svätejšia), ktorá bola obtiahnutá striebrom, čiže postriebrená (taká bola drahšia).
Sdc 17,4 - Syn odmieta previesť venovanie matkino, vracia jej peniaze. Preto dala sama urobiť modlu z 200 šeklov striebra. Keď aj bola ctiteľkou pravého Boha, predsa robila proti zákonu, ktorý zakazoval zobrazovať Boha (Ex 20,4; Dt 4,15). Modla bola umiestená v Michovom dome.
Sdc 17,5 - "Efód" bola nejaká napodobenina veľkňazského efódu (porov. Ex 28,6 nn.); "terafim" – domáci bôžikovia (penates), porov. Gn 31,19; tu to boli asi nejaké vedľajšie sošky pred modlou Jahveho.
Sdc 17,7-9 - Potulný levita (podľa 18,30 sa menoval Jonatán) pochádzal z niektorého levitského mesta v území Júdovom. V Betleheme, ktorý nebol levitským mestom (porov. Joz 21,9 nn.), zdržoval sa len ako hosť, "ako cudzinec".
Sdc 17,13 - Micha (a azda aj jeho súčasníci) bol v omyle, lebo levita nemal právo konať bohoslužobné úkony, ktoré boli vyhradené kňazom, a to tým menej pred modlou Jahveho.
