Micah
Summary[i]
Micah, a contemporary of Isaiah,
prophesied during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah over Judah, and of
Pekahiah, Pekah, and Hoshea over Israel 2Ki_15:23-30;
2Ki_17:1-6. He was a prophet in Judah Jer_26:17-19 but the book called by his name
chiefly concerns Samaria.
Micah falls into three prophetic
strains, each beginning, "Hear":
1. (Micah 1:1 - 2:13)
2. (Micah 3:1 - 5:15)
3. (Micah 6:1 - 7:20)
The events recorded Micah cover a
period of 40 years (Ussher).
