IN the first part, we are to consider of the woman, in the six former verses. 1And here first of the things which are spoken of her before her Idolatry, as they are laid out in the text. Where (after that she is said to be the mother of this Micah, a man of mount Ephraim) it is added, that certain money which she had vowed to the Lord, was stolen from her by her son: whereat she cursed the thief, not knowing who he was that had taken it away. And when he confessed his fault, and that he had it, she blessed him: who restoring it to her again, she answered him, that she had vowed it to the Lord for his use, and therefore bad him take it again. So she took two hundred shekels thereof, to make a molten Image of it, and put it in the house of Micah: and (as it may be gathered by her own words) added the rest to other like appurtenances thereunto.
