Commentary on Judges 17:10

Theological / Devotional

A father. This was a title of respect given to prophets and other officers of distinction (Gen. 45:8; 2 Kings 2:12 ; 5:13; 6:21; etc.).

Ten shekels. The actual cash payment each year was small, but Micah also offered him, in addition, his food and apparel, as well as his lodging.
