“And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?”
King James Version (KJV)
22:5 Enquire - A good man, wherever he goes, will take God along withhim, will acknowledge him in all his ways, and look to him for success.And wherever he goes, he ought to take his religion along with him: and notbe ashamed to own it, even among those who have no kindness for it.
22:6 The prophets - Doubtless his own false prophets, or the priests ofthe groves; who yet gave in their answer in the name of Jehovah; either,in compliance with Jehoshaphat, or by Ahab's direction, thatJehoshaphat might be deceived by them, into a good opinion of the war.
22:8 One man - In this place, for whom I can speedily send: for therewere also other prophets elsewhere in the kingdom, but these were not athand. Micaiah - Not one of the twelve prophets, who lived about a hundredand fifty years after this time, but another of that name.Let not, &c. - Let us neither hate his person, nor despise his message;but first hear it, and then do as we see cause.
22:9 Micaiah - It seems, he had imprisoned him; for ver.#26|, hebids the officer carry him back, namely to the place where he wasbefore. Probably this was he that had reproved him, for lettingBen - hadad go: And for that, had lain in prison three years. But thisdid not make him less confident, or less faithful in delivering his message.
