The use of "again" implies a cycle of judgment and repentance. Historically, Israel faced numerous invasions, such as those by the Assyrians and Babylonians. This prophecy serves as a warning of impending judgment due to the nation's continued sinfulness. Theologically, it reflects the principle of divine retribution found throughout the Old Testament, where God uses foreign nations as instruments of His judgment (e.g., <a href="/isaiah/10-5.htm">Isaiah 10:5-6</a>).<p><b>O dweller of Mareshah</b><br>Mareshah was a city in the lowlands of Judah, known for its strategic location. Archaeological findings suggest it was a fortified city, making it significant in military campaigns. The mention of Mareshah highlights the impending threat to even the fortified cities of Judah, emphasizing that no place is safe from God's judgment. The city's name, meaning "possession" or "inheritance," ironically contrasts with the loss and conquest prophesied here.<p><b>The glory of Israel will come to Adullam</b><br>Adullam is historically known as a refuge, notably for David when he fled from Saul (<a href="/1_samuel/22.htm">1 Samuel 22:1-2</a>). The "glory of Israel" likely refers to the leaders or the pride of the nation, suggesting that they will seek refuge in Adullam, a place associated with hiding and retreat. This indicates a reversal of fortune, where the once-proud leaders are reduced to seeking shelter. Theologically, it can be seen as a humbling of Israel, pointing to the need for repentance and reliance on God rather than human strength or glory. The imagery of seeking refuge can also be seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate refuge for believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/micah.htm">Micah</a></b><br>A prophet from Moresheth, active during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, who warned of impending judgment due to Israel's sins.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/mareshah.htm">Mareshah</a></b><br>A town in the lowlands of Judah, significant in biblical history and mentioned in the context of judgment and conquest.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/adullam.htm">Adullam</a></b><br>A location known for its caves, where David sought refuge from Saul.

It was fortified by Rehoboam, and became the scene of Asa's victory over the immense host of Zerah the Ethiopian. Dr. Robinson is of opinion that after its destruction the town of Eleutheropolis was built out of its materials.<p><span class= "bld">Adullam the glory of Israel.</span>--Adullam, in the neighbourhood of Mareshah, was situated at the base of the hills, and gave its name to the famous cave in which David took refuge. Joshua mentions a king of Adullam in the list of those conquered by the Israelites.

The "heir" is the Assyrian king, Sargon, into whose possession the city shall pass. Mareshah (<a href="/joshua/15-44.htm">Joshua 15:44</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/14-9.htm">2 Chronicles 14:9</a>) was near Achzib, one mile southcast of Beit Jibrin, and is now called <span class="accented">Mer'ash</span>. <span class="cmt_word">He shall come,</span> etc.; better, <span class="accented">the glory of Israel shall come to Adullam</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> the nobility (comp. <a href="/isaiah/5-13.htm">Isaiah 5:13</a>) of Israel shall fly for refuge to such places as the cave of Adullam, David's asylum (<a href="/1_samuel/22-1.htm">1 Samuel 22:1, 2</a>). So the Vulgate. The LXX. has, <span class="greek">Κληρονομία</span> <span class="greek">ε{ως Ὀδυλλὰμ ἥξει ἡ δόξα τῆς θυγατρὸς Ἰσραήλ</span> "The inheritance shall come to Odullam, even the glory of the daughter of Israel." But Rosenmuller, Henderson, Pusey, and others take the sentence as in the Authorized Version, making "the glory of Israel" in apposition with "Adullam," and understanding by "he" the heir or enemy. One knows no reason why Aduliam should be honoured with the above-named title; so the rendering given above is preferable. There is probably a paronomasia intended, "The glory of the Lord shall set (<span class="accented">ad olam</span>) forever." The city of Adullam, <span class="accented">hod</span>. <span class="accented">Aid-el-Mah</span>, lay in the valley of Elah, ten miles northwest of Hebron, halfway between Sochoh and Keilah. It was of great antiquity, being mentioned as the birthplace of Hirah, the friend of Judah (<a href="/genesis/38-12.htm">Genesis 38:12</a>), and one of the cities fortified by Rehoboam (<a href="/2_chronicles/11-7.htm">2 Chronicles 11:7</a>). In its neighbourhood is the celebrated cave, Mugha et Khureitun, which is pointed out as the traditional hold of David, and which has been carefully explored by Mr. Tyrwhitt Drake, of the Palestine Exploration Fund (see Thomson, 'Land and the Book,' pp. 332, etc.). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/micah/1-15.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">I will again</span><br /><span class="heb">עֹ֗ד</span> <span class="translit">(‘ōḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5750.htm">Strong's 5750: </a> </span><span class="str2">Iteration, continuance, again, repeatedly, still, more</span><br /><br /><span class="word">bring</span><br /><span class="heb">אָ֣בִי</span> <span class="translit">(’ā·ḇî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb -
