Micah 2:12 f. A Promise of Restoration. This is a later insertion in Micah's prophecy, analogous to Micah 4, and presupposing the Jewish exile and dispersion. Yahweh will shepherd (Psalms 23:1) the remaining flock of Israel (N. and S.) into the fold (of Palestine); their numbers will be shown by the noise of their return. Yahweh will break through the barrier of their present captivity. like the ram of the flock (J. M. P. Smith), and will lead them out through the gate so made, as their king.

Micah 2:12. of Bozrah means rather into a fold.

Micah 2:13. their king refers to the Lord, by Heb. parallelism (cf. Isaiah 33:22). The perfects of this verse are prophetic.
