About Mica
Mica, also known as Micaiah, is mentioned in the book of Nehemiah as a Levite leader who served in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile (Neh.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 (Neh.11.22). He is also listed among the priests and Levites who participated in the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, playing musical instruments (Neh.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.
