'''The Book of Micah'''

א  דְּבַר-יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר הָיָה, אֶל-מִיכָה הַמֹּרַשְׁתִּי, בִּימֵי יוֹתָם אָחָז יְחִזְקִיָּה, מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה--אֲשֶׁר-חָזָה עַל-שֹׁמְרוֹן, וִירוּשָׁלִָם.

Mic.1

----
 +
icheas (Micah), of Morasti, a little town in the tribe of Juda, was contemporary with the prophet Isaiah: whom he resembles both in his spirit and his style. He is different from the prophet Micheas mentioned in the 1 Kings 22. For that Micheas lived in the days of King Achab, one hundred and fifty years before the time of Ezechias, under whom this Micheas prophesied. (For more information, see the article [https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10278a.htm BOOK OF MICHEAS] in the Catholic Encyclopedia.)[https://www.newadvent.org/bible/mic000.htm]
