Micah
Micah, a prophet from Moresheth, prophesied during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
From Easton's Bible Dictionary
A shortened form of Micaiah, who is like Jehovah? (1.) A man of Mount Ephraim, whose history so far is introduced in Judg. 17, apparently for the purpose of leading to an account of the settlement of the tribe of Dan in Northern Palestine, and for the purpose also of illustrating the lawlessness of the times in which he lived (Judg. 18; 19:1-29; 21:25).
