Read the actual text of Judge chapters 17

"In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit"
(Judges 17:6)

It was a real mess!

Micah' Mother
"'I solemnly consecrate my silver to the Lord for my son to make a carved image and a cast idol. I will give it back to you.'"
(Judges 17:3)
What had God said?
"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God..."
(Exodus 20:4)

This is a fun version of the Baal, not what it really looked like.
