Who Was the Prophet Micah and What Does His Book Teach Us?
Brad Simon
And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt
Having found him, they seized him, and brought him away, with the leave of the king of Egypt: which, no doubt, was easily obtained: and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who slew him with the sword;
very probably with his own hand; or however it was done by his order, and in his presence, most likely: and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people;
either where they were buried in heaps promiscuously, as some think; or in the common burying ground; and not where persons of distinction were laid, as prophets, and others F7; this he did to reflect dishonour upon the prophet.
