Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Micah 4:13

_ _ thresh — destroy thy foes “gathered” by Jehovah as “sheaves” (Isaiah 41:15, Isaiah 41:16).

_ _ thine horn — Zion being compared to an ox treading corn, and an ox’s strength lying in the horns, her strength is implied by giving her a horn of iron (compare 1 Kings 22:11).

_ _ beat in pieces many — (Daniel 2:44).

_ _ I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord — God subjects the nations to Zion, not for her own selfish aggrandizement, but for His glory (Isaiah 60:6, Isaiah 60:9; Zechariah 14:20, with which compare Isaiah 23:18) and for their ultimate good; therefore He is here called, not merely God of Israel, but “Lord of the whole earth.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Micah 4:8-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Micah 4:13

And thresh — The future strength of the church employed in subduing her enemies, is here foretold. Iron — This expresses the strength of the church firm as iron, to beat down her enemies. Brass — By this figurative speech, is the strength of Zion expressed, treading underfoot, and breaking the power of her enemies in pieces. And I — I, the church. Their gain — The spoils of my conquered enemies.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Micah 4:13

Arise and thresh, (n) O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.

(n) God gives his Church this victory, as often as he overcomes their enemies: but the accomplishment of this will be at the last coming of Christ.
