Micah 5:1 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Now gather thyself in troops, &c.— But thou shalt be made desolate, O desolating daughter: thou shalt be surrounded by a siege; because they have smitten the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. This verse should be the last of the preceding chapter, and not the first of this; for the last fate of the Jews is here terminated; who, in the re-establishment of their kingdom, having taken much spoil from the neighbouring people, shall at length perish, when they have struck Jesus Christ, the judge of Israel, on the cheek. See Houbigant.
