Micah 1:5 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jacob — The sons of Jacob, the ten tribes. What — Or, who is the spring, and cause of that overflowing transgression? Of Jacob — The kingdom of the ten tribes, the head of which was Samaria, where the kings had their residence, where they worshiped idols, and set an example to the rest of the Israelitish kingdom. And what — Or, who is the cause of the high places, and the idolatry there practised? Jerusalem — Which was the chief city of that kingdom, and had the same influence over Judah, as Samaria had on the ten tribes.
