Albert Barnes Commentary Judges 17:1

"And there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah." — Judges 17:1 (ASV)

See the introduction to the Book of Judges. The only point of contact with the preceding history of Samson is, that we are still concerned with the tribe of Dan. See (Judges 18:1–2), note. Josephus combines in one narrative what we read here and in (Judges 1:34), and places it, with the story in Judges 18-21, immediately after the death of Joshua.
