Micah regarded it as a piece of good fortune that he had been able to obtain a Levite, one probably trained for the work of the sanctuary, to officiate at his private shrine. He had installed his son only out of need, but now he was pleased to have a professional, at least one originally called to the service of the sanctuary, filling the office. It gave him assurance that as a result of the Levite’s ministry, Jehovah would prosper him in whatever he did. One can but pity Micah in his desire for God’s blessing. Evidently unknowingly, he was violating the commandments of God in the method of his worship.
