Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Micah 1:13

_ _ “Bind the chariot to the swift steed,” in order by a hasty flight to escape the invading foe. Compare Note, see on Isaiah 36:2, on “Lachish,” at which Sennacherib fixed his headquarters (2 Kings 18:14, 2 Kings 18:17; Jeremiah 34:7).

_ _ she is the beginning of the sin to ... Zion — Lachish was the first of the cities of Judah, according to this passage, to introduce the worship of false gods, imitating what Jeroboam had introduced in Israel. As lying near the border of the north kingdom, Lachish was first to be infected by its idolatry, which thence spread to Jerusalem.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Micah 1:8-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Micah 1:13

Lachish — A strong fortress on the confines of Judah. Bind the chariot — To fly from the sword of the enemy. She — Lachish, which being the nearest to idolatrous Israel, took the infection of them, and conveyed it to Jerusalem. The transgressions — Not only the idolatry, but other sins also. Of Israel — Of the ten tribes.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the (n) swift beast: she (o) [is] the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.

(n) To flee away: for Sennacherib laid siege first to that city, and remained there when he sent his captains and army against Jerusalem.

(o) You first received the idolatry of Jeroboam, and so infected Jerusalem.
