The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 5:10-15
God's depriving dispensation towards men. "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots: and I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds." "The prophet now returns to times near his own, and predicts the beneficial moral changes that were to be effected in the condition of his countrymen by the Babylonish conquest and captivity. They had, contrary to the express... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 5:11
Cities . Abodes of luxury and pride. From Messiah's kingdom all pomp and vain glory shall be shut out. Strongholds. Such defences shall not be needed nor allowed (comp. Isaiah 2:15 ; Zechariah 2:4 , Zechariah 2:5 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 5:12
Witchcrafts . Magic and sorcery, which were much practised in Syria and Palestine, as in Chaldea, the literature of which country consists in great part of spells and charms. It is to the belief in the efficacy of such incantations that we owe the episode of Balak and Balaam (Numbers 22-24.), and the enactments in the Law; e.g. Deuteronomy 18:10 , etc. (comp. Isaiah 2:6 ; Isaiah 47:12 ). Septuagint, τὰ φάρμακά σου , "thy poisons;" Vulgate, maleficia . Soothsayers ; properly,... read more

Graven images, of stone or metal (Le 26:1). Standing images; Septuagint, τὰς στηλάς σου , "thy columns;" Vulgate, statuas tuas These are stone images or pillars dedicated to false gods ( 1 Kings 14:23 ). A pillar to mark a place consecrated to the worship of the Lord was allowed (see Genesis 28:18 ; Genesis 31:13 , Genesis 31:45 ; Isaiah 19:17 ). It was when this custom degenerated into idolatry that it was sternly denounced ( Deuteronomy 16:22 ; Deuteronomy 27:15 ,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 5:11-15
I will cut off the cities of thy land - So God promised by Zechariah, “Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls; for I will be unto her a wall of fire round about” Zechariah 2:4-5. The Church shall not need the temptation of human defense; for God shall fence her in on every side. Great cities too, as the abode of luxury and sin, of power and pride, and, mostly, of cruelty, are chiefly denounced as the objects of God’s anger. Babylon stands as the emblem of the whole city of the... read more

Micah 5:10-11. And in that day Namely, in that time when the threatenings against the enemies, and the promises to the people of God shall be made good; I will cut off thy horses, &c. Not in judgment, but in mercy, for there shall be no need of them, nor shall the church of God any more rely on them. And will destroy thy chariots Chariots prepared for war.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 5:12-15
Micah 5:12-15. And I will cut off witchcrafts, &c. Here is foretold the downfall of all unlawful arts and devices, which had been used by the Jews in former ages, to obtain the knowledge of future events: that God would, in mercy to his people, take away these occasions of sinning. Thy graven images also will I cut off I will abolish every species of idolatry. This was effected, even among the Jews, by that severe judgment the Babylonish captivity, from which time they have abhorred... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Micah 5:2-15
God’s chosen king (5:2-15)Ruling over Israel in this golden age will be a king specially chosen by God. He will have only a humble beginning, being born in the small Judean town of Bethlehem. But his ancestry will go back to ancient times, to the great king David, who himself came from Bethlehem and whose dynasty was guaranteed by God to last for ever. This king will have full right to David’s throne, and through him God’s promises to David will be fulfilled (2; cf. 1 Samuel 17:12; 2 Samuel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 5:7-15
The spiritual influence of good men symbolized. By "the remnant of Jacob" is intended the good who were to be found in the land of Judah; for in the most corrupt times God has ever had a people to show forth his praise. The expression may be taken as descriptive of good, holy, spiritual men; and it is here declared that these shall exert among the nations a gracious influence. Notice— I. THE SPIRITUAL INFLUENCE OF GOOD MEN IS HERE SET FORTH BY MEANS OF ... read more
