An Old Testament prophet. He was a native of Moresheth Gath, in the plain country of Judah, and prophesied while Hezekiah was king (Micah 1: 1-2).

The book of Micah: Micah is the only book in the Old Testament to name Bethlehem as the place where the Messiah would be born (Micah 5: 2). In the book the Lord counseled with his people and recounted his past goodness to them; he required from them justice, mercy, and humility (Micah 6: 8).
