Aphrah

Morrish Bible Dictionary

The margin of  Micah 1:10 explains the name as 'house of dust,' so that there is a play upon the word 'dust:' 'in the house of dust roll thyself in the dust.' The LXX read 'the house in derision.' It may refer to OPHRAHin   Joshua 18:23;  1 Samuel 13:17 , a city in the tribe of Benjamin.

Fausset's Bible Dictionary

 Micah 1:10. ("dust", which the following words, "roll thyself in the dust," allude to). Identified by Winer with Ophrah of Benjamin ( Joshua 18:28); or, as Rabbi Tanchum, a town near Jerusalem. The prophet tells his countrymen not to declare their sorrow in hostile Gath, but in their own cities.
