There were many of this name in Scripture. (See 1 Chronicles 9:15; 2 Kings 22:12; 1 Chronicles 5:5; 1Ch 23:20) But the one of eminency to be particularly noticed in a work of this kind, is Micah the Morashite, that is, of Moresa, a village in the south of Judah. He is one of what is called the lesser prophets; and his prophecy forms a part of the sacred Canon of Scripture. His name is probably from Macac, poor, low, humble; though some read it Michaiha, and form it into a question, Who is like to JEHOVAH?
