12. into the king’s hand ] R.V. into the hand of the king. A change made to shew that the words are just the same as in 1Ki 22:6. The LXX. adds here ‘even the king of Syria.’

And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper,…. All encouraged the king to go up against this place, and prophesied of victory, as Zedekiah did:
for the Lord shall deliver it into the king’s hand,
[See comments on 1Ki 22:6].

(12) For the Lord shall deliver it.The prophets, led by Zedekiah, now venture to use the Name of Jehovah, from which they had at first shrunk. The description, however, of their united reiteration of the cry, evidently with increasing excitement, reminds us of the repeated O Baal, hear us of Mount Carmel, and stands in similar contrast with the calm, stern utterance of the true prophet.

12. The Lord shall deliver it into the king’s hand This announcement was ambiguous, like the heathen oracles, and capable of different explanations, for it did not distinctly designate whether the king of Israel or the king of Syria would be the victor. Micaiah, when called, uttered the same words, (1Ki 22:15😉 and by his manner of voice and look imitated the irony of Elijah at Carmel, (1Ki 18:27,) as if to suggest to Ahab how misleading and unworthy of Jehovah was such an ambiguous oracle.

1Ki 22:12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver [it] into the king’s hand.
Ver. 12. And all the prophets prophesied so. ] These were fit handles for such a hatchet as Ahab was; fit lettuce for such lips; dignum patella operculum. Itching ears shall have clawing preachers.
For the Lord shall deliver it.
