Micah 2:13

As a shepherd breaks through obstacles and barriers to lead his sheep into pleasant pastures, so Israel’s Good Shepherd will clear the way for His sheep to return to the land (cf. Psalms 78:52-53; Psalms 80:1). They will break out of their former habitations, pass through the way He opens for them, and leave all parts of the world to return to the Promised Land.

Yahweh would not only function as their Shepherd but also as their (Davidic) King (cf. Isaiah 6:5). He will lead them as a mighty conqueror and ruler (cf. Isaiah 33:22; Zephaniah 3:15; Zechariah 14:9).

"If studied in isolation from the total context of the prophecy, the passage may be understood simply as a prediction of the return from the Captivity. But this is inadequate in view of the broader background of Micah’s concept of the future." [Note: McComiskey, p. 415.]
