Micah 1:15

Yet will I bring, &c. Rather, Moreover unto thee will I bring him that shall possess thee (viz. Sargon and his Assyrians). -Mareshah" was near Achzib (Joshua 15:44). There is an allusion to its possible meaning of -possession."

he shall come unto Adullam, &c. Rather, the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam. The nobility of Israel are to take refuge in the cave which once harboured David and his band (1 Samuel 22:1-2). These limestone caverns are of great extent; some of them, says Dr Pusey, will hold thousands of men. A second meaning may be implied by a paronomasia, -The glory of Israel shall set for ever" (as if Adullam meant -for ever," Hebr. ad olam). Adullam was a fortified town in the Shephélah, Joshua 15:35.
