So the Leuite went in. 11 And the Leuite was content to dwell with the man, and the yong man was vnto him as one of his sonnes. 12 And Micah consecrated the Leuite, and the young man became his Priest, and was in the house of Micah. 13 Then said Micah, Now know I that the Lord will doe me good, seeing I haue a Leuite to my Priest.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man,.... To continue with him; after he had made trial for some time, he liked his service, and his wages, and way of living; it was all agreeable to him:
and the young man was unto him as one of his sons; as dearly beloved by him, and used as kindly and tenderly, as if he had been one of his own children; so strong were the affections of Micah to him, and so well pleased was he with his service.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 17:11. The Levite was content — He thought the place a good one, and the wages respectable.
