Micah was active in Judah from before the fall of Samaria (1:2–7) in 722 BCE; he lived under king Ahaz (735–715 BC) and king Hezekiah (715–687), and (apparently) experienced the devestation brought on by Senacherib’s invasion of Judah (701 BC). The heading of the book (1:1) also adds the name of king Jotham (742–735 BC) but nothing in the book confirms this fact. This would make Micah active from 742 (at earliest) to 701 (at latest) BC. The message in Micah 1:2–9 was given before the destruction of Samaria in 721. The appeal of Jeremiah's supporters to the prophecy of Micah confirms his connection with Hezekiah: "And some of the land arose and said to all the assembled people, Micah of Moresheth prophesied during the days of Hezekiah king of Judah" (Jeremiah 26:17).
