"In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes" (Judges 17:6; NKJV).
Micah and the Danites serve to illustrate the truth of Judges 17:6 (see Judges 17-18).
These men deviated "from God's directed pattern" (F. LaGard Smith, The Daily Bible, p. 375). May it never be true of us. Conform to His patterns and do right.
