Read Micah 1.10-16. In1.10-16: A lament over the invasion of Judah. This speech may have been composed in response to the invasion in 701 BCE of the Assyrian King Sennacherib, who conquered Lachish (v. 13) together with other cities and towns in the Judean foothills in the vicinity of Micah's own village Moresheth-gath (v. 14). Among the towns Micah lists bearing the brunt of the Assyrian attack, Beth-ezel (v.11), Lachish (v.13). Moresheth-gath and Achzib (v. 14), and Mareshah and Adullam (v. 15) have been identified with sites in the Judean foothills and the other places mentioned were likely situated in this vicinity as well.
