     * Micah.
     # Mic 1:1|
     * Zion.
       Josephus relates that Titus, after he had taken Jerusalem,
       ordered his soldiers to demolish it, except three of the
       largest and most beautiful towers, and the western wall of
       the city; all the rest was levelled, so that they who had
       never before seen it, could scarcely persuade themselves it
       had been inhabited.  The Jewish writers also inform us, that
       Turnus Rufus, whom Titus had left in command, ploughed up the
       very foundations of the temple.  When Dr. Richardson visited
       this sacred spot in 1818, he found one part of Mount Zion
       supporting a crop of barley, and another undergoing the
       labour of the plough:  the soil turned up consisted of stone
       and lime mixed with earth, such as is usually met with in
       foundations of ruined cities.  It is nearly a mile in
       circumference; is highest on the west side, and, towards the
       east, falls down in broad terraces on the upper part of the
       mountain as it slopes down toward the brook Kidron.
