Commentary on Micah 1:15

Theological / Devotional

Mareshah. A town in the Shephelah of Judah (see Joshua 15:44; 2 Chronicles 14:9) 23½ mi. (37.5 km.) southwest of Jerusalem, now identified with Tell Sandahannah.

Because it is similar in sound to the Hebrew morashah, a word meaning “inheritance,” there is probably another play on words, “Yet will I bring an inheritor who will claim your Heritage-town.”

He shall come. The sentence may be translated as in the RSV, “the glory of Israel shall come to Adullam.” However, the meaning is obscure. Some think the reference is to the nobility of Israel, who would seek refuge in places like the cave of Adullam, where David hid (1 Samuel 22:1, 2).
