The Danger of Mixed Worship
Commentators explain that Micah practiced a dangerous mix of true and false worship. He invoked Jehovah's name and hired a Levite, but did so through idols and in violation of God's specific laws. As John Gill notes, this shows he hadn't utterly forsaken God but was trying to worship Him on his own terms, a mixture that was ultimately unacceptable.
