"Who is like Jehovah?" Prophet and author of the Book of Micah. Apparently originating from Moresheth-gath (Mi. 1:14), undoubtedly in Judah, not far from Gath, the Philistine city on which Micah's hometown depended for a time.
He prophesied during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah (Mi. 1:1; Jer. 26:18); He began his career shortly after Hosea and Isaiah, his contemporaries (Mi. 1:1; cf. Is. 1:1; Hos. 1:1). Micah, closer to Isaiah, deals with the same great themes as he, as Calvin rightly pointed out.
