TSK · Micah 5:6

Cush was the father of Nimrod; he began to be a valiant warrior on the earth.

During Pekah’s reign over Israel, King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria came and captured Ijon, Abel Beth Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, including all the territory of Naphtali. He deported the people to Assyria.

In the fourth year of King Hezekiah’s reign(it was the seventh year of the reign of Israel’s King Hoshea, son of Elah), King Shalmaneser of Assyria marched up against Samaria and besieged it.

Cush was the father of Nimrod, who established himself as a mighty warrior on earth.

After I had spoken, they did not respond; my words fell on them drop by drop.

Your people willingly follow you when you go into battle. On the holy hills at sunrise the dew of your youth belongs to you.

The Lord Turns on Arrogant Assyria Beware, Assyria, the club I use to vent my anger, a cudgel with which I angrily punish.

I will break Assyria in my land, I will trample them underfoot on my hills. Their yoke will be removed from my people, the burden will be lifted from their shoulders.

Do any of the worthless idols of the nations cause rain to fall? Do the skies themselves send showers? Is it not you, O Lord our God, who does this? So we put our hopes in you because you alone do all this.”

The LORD will attack the north and destroy Assyria. He will make Nineveh a heap of ruins; it will be as barren as the desert.

that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us.
