☩Individuals Named Micha
Several men in Scripture bear this name. The first was a son of Mephibosheth (also called Merib-baal), the grandson of King Saul, elsewhere called Micah. A second Micha was the son of Zabdi and father of Mattaniah, a Levite descended from Asaph who served in the post-exilic community. This Micha joined in sealing the sacred covenant after the return from Babylonian captivity. A third Micha appears in the apocryphal book of Judith as a Simeonite, one of the governors of Bethulia.
