Nineveh (See Scofield "Nah 1:1")
1:6 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
“Therefore”
In Mic 1:6–16 the Assyrian invasion is described. Cf. 2 Kgs 17:1–18. This is the local circumstance which gives rise to the prophecy of the greater invasion in the last days. Mic 4:9–13 and of the Lord's deliverance at Armageddon.; Rev 16:14; Rev 19:17.

Introduction to Micah
Micah, a contemporary of Isaiah, prophesied during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah over Judah, and of Pekahiah, Pekah, and Hoshea over Israel 2 Kgs 15:23–30; 2 Kgs 17:1–6. He was a prophet in Judah Jer 26:17–19 but the book called by his name chiefly concerns Samaria.
Micah falls into three prophetic strains, each beginning, "Hear":
1. Mic 1:1 to Mic 2:13
2. Mic 3:1 to Mic 5:15
3. Mic 6:1 to Mic 7:20
The events recorded Micah cover a period of 40 years (Ussher).
