While this probably referred to the ancient Babylonian captivity of Judah, it seems also to refer to the end time, considering verses 11-13.
Micah 5:3 says that Jesus will give up the Jews "until the time that she who is in labor has given birth." Together with verses 4,5, it seems clear that this is not a reference to Judah giving birth to the Messiah—since Judah was still given up to enemies at that time and even after.
Rather, she who is in labor is likely the spiritual Zion, who gives birth to a "nation born at once" (compare Isaiah 66:8)—that is, the glorification of those of God's Church (His spiritual nation) at Christ's return.
