Mica

English

A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Neh.11.22.

Mica, also known as Micaiah, is mentioned in the book of Nehemiah as a Levite leader who served in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile (Nehemiah 11:22; 12.35). He was a descendant of Asaph, one of the principal musicians appointed by David. In the post-exilic period, Mica is described as the leader of the Levites in Jerusalem and was responsible for the outside work of the house of God (Nehemiah 11:22). He is also listed among the priests and Levites who participated in the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, playing musical instruments (Nehemiah 12:35). These details highlight Mica's significant role in the spiritual and practical affairs of the Jewish community in Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah.
