Micah 1:14

Micah's Lament

¹³ Bind the chariot to a swift beast, O inhabitant of Lachish, The beginning of sin is she to the daughter of Zion, For in thee have been found the transgressions of Israel. ¹⁴ Therefore thou givest presents to Moresheth-Gath, The houses of Achzib become a lying thing to the kings of Israel. ¹⁵ Yet the possessor I do bring in to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, To Adullam come in doth the honour of Israel.

For This Cause

King of Israel

Achzib

Gath
