Micah or Micha (מִיכָה, Standard Hebrew Miḫa, Tiberian Hebrew Mîḵāh) is the name of several people in the Bible Old Testament and Judaism Tanakh. The name is a shortened form of Micaiah or Michaihu (מִיכַיְהוּ, Standard Hebrew Miḫayhu, Tiberian Hebrew Mîḵayhû), meaning "one who is like Tetragrammaton." # A man of Mount Ephraim, whose history so far is introduced in Jdg. 17, apparently for the purpose of leading to an account of he settlement of the tribe of Dan in Northern Palestine (region), and for the purpose also of illustrating the lawlessness of the times in which he lived (Jdg. 18; 19:1-29; 21:25). In violation of the law he took some silver pieces and made some holy images. Mistakenly, he felt this was in God's honour. # The son of Merib-baal (Mephibosheth). (2 Samuel 9:12) He was still a child when his father was invited to David's house. He became the father of Pithon, Melech, Tarea and Ahaz. (1Cr. 8:33-35;9:39-41) # The first in rank of the priests of the family of Kohathites (1Cr. 23:20). # A descendant of Joel the Reubenite (1Cr. 5:5). # The author of the Book of Micah, also called "The Morasthite" to distinguish him from Micaiah, the son of Imlah (1 Kings 22:8). He was a prophet of Kingdom of Judah, a contemporary of Isaiah (Book_of_Micah 1:1), a native of Moresheth of Gath (1:14, 15). Very little is known of the circumstances of his life (comp. Jer. 26:18, 19). He warned that God would judge the land because of their false worship and moral corruption. He prophesied that God would make Samaria a heap of ruins and likewise Zion. == See Also == * Micah is commonly short for the Book of Micah in the Bible. ----- ''Initial text from Easton's Bible Dictionary, 1897 -- Please update as needed'' Hebrew Bible/Tanakh prophets Hebrew Bible/Tanakh people Christian prophets
