Book Introduction - Micah
Micah, a contemporary of Isaiah, prophesied during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah over Judah, and of Pekahiah, Pekah, and Hoshea over Israel 2 Kings 15:23; 2 Kings 17:1. He was a prophet in Judah Jeremiah 26:17 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).
