Micah

Meaning: poor; humble · Female · 8 cross references

This Micah entry refers to Micah son of Mephibosheth, a Benjaminite descendant in Saul's line. This figure should be distinguished from the Ephraimite Micah in Judges and from the prophet Micah. First appears in Judg 18:18.1

AI summary: This Micah matters because the cross references preserve continuity in Saul's house beyond the more famous narratives of Jonathan and Mephibosheth. Through his descendants, the line remains visible in Benjaminite genealogies and reminds the reader that Saul's family did not simply disappear from Israel's memory. This figure is not a public leader, but a genealogical carrier of dynastic continuity. Taken together, the material presents this Micah as an important descendant in the remembered survival of Saul's line.1
