2. One of the Levites (or the forefather of one) attesting by seal the “trustworthy arrangement” of Nehemiah’s time.​—Ne 9:38; 10:1, 9, 11.

3. A Levite descendant of Asaph and the son of Zichri (also identified as Zabdi and Zaccur). Mica was the father of Mattaniah and is also called Micah and Micaiah.​—1Ch 9:14, 15; Ne 11:17, 22; 12:35.
