Matthew Poole and continuators on Micah 1:15

15 Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah : he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel .

The Lord God will cause the Assyrian to rise up and prosper in his Wars, to the subduing and possessing of the Cities of Israel and the Philistines.

The Assyrian who in the right of conquest shall possesse and account himself heir of what he possesseth.

Most think the Prophet speaks of Mareshah in his own Countrey, but I think the Assyrian did not inherit that, though he might inherit that of the Philistins.

Ironically (say some) called thus, [illegible: 2 letters]natorily threatning that the glory of Israel should be brought as low, into as mean condition, as Adu[illegible: 2 letters]am; others think it should be read, and to the glory of Israel that is Ierusalem, so there should be an Ellipsis of ([non-Latin text not transcribed]) the particle conjunctive. Others think 'tis the Prophets deep sigh at the thoughts how the glory of Israel is laid in the dust. Others think it was then considerable enough at that time to be called the glory of Israel, though we know not how.

Famous for its strength say some, but I rather think it better known for the Cave where David lay hid, 1 Samuel 22.1. 'Twas made a Town of defence by Rhehoboam, 2 Chronicles 11.7. 'twas once a Royal City, and had several Villages belonging to it, Iosh. 12.15.
