Read it in contextMicah 5:1–5

1 Now gather your troops, daughter of troops; a siege is laid against us. With a rod they strike the ruler of Israel on the cheek. 2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you one will come out for me to be ruler in Israel, one whose origins go back to the distant past, to ancient days. 3 Therefore he will give them up until the time when she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest of his brothers will return to the people of Israel. 4 He will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of Yahweh, in the majesty of the name of Yahweh his God. They will live securely, for now he will be great to the ends of the earth. 5 And he will be peace. When Assyria invades our land and marches through our fortresses, we will raise against it seven shepherds, even eight leaders of men.
