John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
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 Jdg 18:1-2, note. Josephus combines in one narrative what we read here and in Jdg 1:34, and places it, with the story in Judg. 1821, immediately after the death of Joshua.

- Judges 18:1
In those days there was no king in Israel, and the tribe of the Danites was looking for territory to occupy. For up to that time they had not come into an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.
Commentary on Judges 18:12 voices
In those days there was no king in Israel,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
There was no king in Israel - See Jdg 17:6 (note). The circumstances related here show that this must have happened about the time of the preceding transactions. The tribe of the Danites - That is, a part of this tribe; some families of it. All their inheritance - That is, they had not got an extent of country sufficient for them.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 2 Samuel 9:12
And Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica, and all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants of Mephibosheth.
Commentary on 2 Samuel 9:122 voices
Mephibosheth was five years old at Sauls death. He may have been thirteen at Davids accession to the throne of Israel. In the eighth year of Davids reign over all Israel he would have been twenty-one. His having a son at this time indicates that we are about the 10th year of Davids reign. Micha - Or Micah; who, as far as we know, was Mephibosheths only son, and had a numerous posterity (marginal references).
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha,.... What his age was is not said from him sprung a progeny of several generations, 1Ch 8:34, and all that dwelt in the house Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth; his sons and his servants.

- 1 Chronicles 5:5
Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
- 1 Chronicles 8:34
The son of Jonathan: Merib-baal, and Merib-baal was the father of Micah.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:342 voices
And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal,.... The same with Mephibosheth, 2Sa 4:4 so Jerubbaal is called Jerubbesheth, Jdg 6:32. and Meribbaal begat Micah; called his young son in David's time, 2Sa 9:12.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Merib-baal - The same as Mephibosheth, for, as the Israelites detested Baal, which signifies lord, they changed it into bosheth, which signifies shame or reproach.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 1 Chronicles 8:35
The sons of Micah: Pithon, Melech, Tarea, and Ahaz.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:351 voice
And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tarea, and Ahaz. The last but one is called Tahrea, 1Ch 9:41, where Ahaz is left out, though supplied in our version.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- 1 Chronicles 9:40
The son of Jonathan: Merib-baal, who was the father of Micah.
- 1 Chronicles 9:41
The sons of Micah: Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and Ahaz.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 9:411 voice
And Ahaz - This is added by our translators from 1Ch 8:35, but such liberties should only be taken in a note; for although the words are now sufficiently distinguished from the text by being printed in Italics, yet it is too much to expect that every editor of a Bible will attend to such distinctions, and in process of time the words will be found incorporated with the text. 1Ch 9:35, and the following verses, are a repetition of what we find in 1Ch 8:29-38 (note), where see the notes.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 1 Chronicles 23:20
The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.
- 1 Chronicles 24:24
From the sons of Uzziel: Micah; from the sons of Micah: Shamir.
- 1 Chronicles 24:25
The brother of Micah: Isshiah; from the sons of Isshiah: Zechariah.
- 2 Chronicles 34:20
and commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king:
- Jeremiah 26:18
“Micah the Moreshite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah and told all the people of Judah that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.’
Commentary on Jeremiah 26:182 voices
Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah,.... Or, Micah of Maresha, as the Targum.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Micah the Morasthite - The same as stands among the prophets. Now all these prophesied as hard things against the land as Jeremiah has done; yet they were not put to death, for the people saw that they were sent of God.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Jeremiah 26:19
Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did Hezekiah not fear the LORD and seek His favor, and did not the LORD relent of the disaster He had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great harm on ourselves!”
Commentary on Jeremiah 26:192 voices
(Verse 17 onwards) And the men of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to the whole assembly of the people, saying: Micaiah of Moresheth was a prophet in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins, and the mountain of the house like the high places of a forest. Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death?

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death?....

- Micah 1:1
This is the word of the LORD that came to Micah the Moreshite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah—what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem:
Commentary on Micah 1:12 voices
(Chapter 1, Verse 1) The word of the Lord that came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem, or according to the Septuagint, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. The word of the Lord came to Micah after Hosea, Amos, and Isaiah, who prophesied during the reign of Uzziah.
Jerome· Commentary on Micah, 420Patristic
The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morasthite,.... So called, either from Mareshah, mentioned Mic 1:15; and was a city in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:44; as the Targum, Jarchi, Kimchi, and Zacutus (i); or rather from Moresheth, from which Moreshethgath, Mic 1:14; is distinguished; which Jerom (k) says was in his time a small village in the land of Palestine, near Eleutheropolis. Some think these two cities to be one and the same; but they appear to be different from the account of Jerom (l) elsewhere.

- Micah 1:14
Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel.
Commentary on Micah 1:142 voices
(Vers. 10 seq.) In Geth, do not announce, do not weep with tears, sprinkle yourselves with dust in the house of dust: pass by, you inhabitants of Saphir (Beautiful), confused with disgrace, she who dwells in Sennan (Exit) has not come out. The lament of the house of Asel (Neighboring) will receive you: she who stood for herself, because she is weakened in good, she who dwells in Maroth (Bitterness): for evil descends from the Lord to the gate of Jerusalem.
Jerome· Commentary on Micah, 420Patristic
Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath,....
