Micah 1:14
_ _ shalt thou give presents to Moresheth-gath — that its inhabitants may send thee help. Maurer explains it, “thou shalt give a writing of renunciation to Moresheth-gath,” that is, thou shalt renounce all claim to it, being compelled to yield it up to the foe. “Thou,” that is, Judah. “Israel” in this verse is used for the kingdom of Judah, which was the chief representative of the whole nation of Israel. Moresheth-gath is so called because it had fallen for a time under the power of the neighboring Philistines of Gath. It was the native town of Micah (Micah 1:1).
_ _ Achzib — meaning “lying.” Achzib, as its name implies, shall prove a “lie to ... Israel,” that is, shall disappoint Israel’s hopes of succor from her (compare Job 6:15-20; Jeremiah 15:18). Achzib was in Judah between Keilah and Mareshah (Joshua 15:44). Perhaps the same as Chezib (Genesis 38:5). |
Micah 1:14
Give presents — The inhabitants of Lachish courted the assistance of the Philistines against the Assyrian. Moresheth — gath — A known city of the Philistines, called Moresheth — gath, to distinguish it from a town of the same name in the tribe of Judah. Achzib — This was also a city of the Philistines. A lie — A lying refuge, a prop that will break under them. |
Micah 1:14
Therefore shalt thou give presents to (p) Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib [shall be] a lie to the kings of Israel.
(p) You will bribe the Philistines your neighbours, but they will deceive you, as well as those of Jerusalem. |
