Micah 1:6 And I will make Samaria as a heap of stones in the field when a vineyard is planted: and I will bring down the stones thereof into the valley, and will lay her foundations bare.

Heap. Septuagint, "hut to keep the fruit." Hebrew, "hillock of the field," (Haydock) to be cultivated. (Grotius) --- Bare, by Salmanasar, 4 Kings 17:6. It was afterwards rebuilt, (Calmet) but completely levelled by Hircan. (Josephus, Antiquities 13:18.)
