Chapter 9

Life of the Prophet

¹ Micah is interpreted “humility,” or “one being humbled.” This man was from Morathi, of the tribe of Ephraim; and having done much against Ahab, he was put to death by Joram his son, hurled from a cliff, because he reproved him for the impieties of his fathers; and he was buried in his own land alone, near the burial-ground of Enakim.[1]

² End of the treatise on the prophet Micah, from the voice of the most blessed archbishop of Bulgaria, the lord Theophylact.[2]
