Since then Jerusalem has been destroyed three times, the first one being the fulfillment of Micah's ...
The Book of Micah is the sixth of the twelve minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible. [ 1 ] [ a ] Ostensibly, it records the sayings of Micah , whose name is Mikayahu ( Hebrew : מִיכָיָ֫הוּ ), meaning "Who is like Yahweh?", [ 3 ] an 8th-century BCE prophet from the village of Moresheth in Judah (Hebrew name from the opening verse ...

Josiah's reform in 2 Kings 23:24 outlawed teraphim. Zechariah 10:2 states, For the oracle idols spoke delusion, The augurs predicted falsely;
Medieval midrash propose that Delilah was the mother of Micah from the biblical narrative of Micah's Idol. [15] This theory rests on the fact that, in Judges 17, Micah's mother gives her son 1,100 silver coins to construct his idol, similar to how Delilah was promised 1,100 silver coins to betray her lover by the Philistine leaders.

Micah is from Ephraim, and has a shrine containing an ephod and teraphim; Micah initially installs his son as priest; the Levite is passing by and installed by Micah in exchange for wages, clothes, and food; the five scouts are sent by the Tribe of Dan from Zorah and Eshatol, spend the night at Micah's house, and are blessed by the Levite
