James Trimm’s Nazarene Commentary on Michah Chapter 5

5:1(2)

But you, Beit-Lechem Ephrathah, which are little to be among the thousands of Y’hudah: out of you, shall one come forth unto Me that is to be ruler in Yisra’el; whose goings forth are from of old–from ancient days.
(Micah 5:1 (5:2) HRV)

The Targum to this verse reads:

And you, O Bethlehem Ephrath,
you who were too small to be numbered
among the thousands of the house of Judah,
from you shall come forth before Me the Messiah,
to exercise dominion over Israel,
he whose name was mentioned from before,
from the days of creation.
(Targum Jonathan; Micah 5:1)

The fact that Messiah was to be born at Beit Lechem is also expressed in this story found in the Midrash Rabbah (as well as in the Jerusalem Talmud):

A man was plowing when one of his oxen lowed. An Arab passed by and asked, ‘What are you?’ He replied, ‘I am a Jew.’ The Arab said to him, ‘Unharness your ox and untie your plow [as a sign of mourning].’ ‘Why?’ ‘Because the Temple of the Jews is destroyed.’ The Jew asked, ‘How do you know this?’ ‘From the lowing of your ox.’ While they were talking the ox lowed again. The Arab said, ‘Harness your ox and tie up your plow, because the deliverer of the Jews is born.’ ‘What is his name?’ ‘His name is Menachem [Comforter].’ ‘What is his father’s name?’ ‘Chizkiyahu.’ ‘Where do they live?’ He answered, ‘In Birat-’Arba, in Beit-Lechem of Judea.’
(Midrash Rabbah to Lamentations, Section 51 (on Lamentations 1:16)) (see also j.Ber. 5a)

8 (5:9) Let Your hand be lifted up above Your adversaries, and let all Your enemies be cut off.
9 (5:10) And it shall come to pass in that day, says YHWH, that I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you, and will destroy your chariots.
10 (5:11) And I will cut off the cities of your land, and will throw down all your strongholds,
11 (5:12) And I will cut off witchcrafts out of your hand, and you shall have no more soothsayers.
12 (5:13) And I will cut off your graven images and your pillars out of the midst of you, and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.
13 (5:14) And I will pluck up your Asherim out of the midst of you, and I will destroy your enemies.
14 (5:15) And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the nations, because they hearkened not.
(Micah 5:8(9)-14(15) HRV)

Now if we look a few verses down to Zechariah 13:1-3 we see a series of verses that clearly parallel Micah 5:8-14:

Both passages clearly speak of the coming of Messiah ben David to judge the earth and establish his Messianic Kingdom. Zechariah then goes on (see comments to Zech. 13:1-3) to identify this Messiah as having been wounded in the midst of his hands in the house of his friends (among his own people)
