Bethlehem - Later Bible History
After the time of David, Bethlehem would appear to have sunk into
insignificance. But its future fame is pointed at by Micah (5:2):
"But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the
thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto me that is to be
ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
"In the return of the Jews captive Bethlehemites re-inhabited the
place (Ezr 2:21; Neh 7:26 "men"; 1 Esdras 5:17
"sons").
