Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 18:24
And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
24. Behold, thou shalt see ] Micaiah answers Zedekiah’s gibe with the verb “see” (rather than “know”) because of its double meaning, “Behold, thou shalt be a seer, thou shalt possess the power of vision” when it is too late.
go into an inner chamber ] “Seek safety in hiding from enemies”; cp. 1Ki 20:30 (same Heb. phrase).

(24) Thou shalt see.Thou art to see, or, destined to see, on that day when thou shalt enter a chamber in a chamber to hide thyself (lhchbh, correctly. Kings, lhchbh). Zedekiahs further history is not recordedan indication, as Ewald justly observes, that the original narrative contained much more than the present extract from it.

thou shalt see = art going to see; or, art about to see; or, thou wilt soon see.

Behold: Isa 26:11, Jer 28:16-17, Jer 29:21-22, Jer 29:32
into an inner chamber: or, from chamber to chamber, Heb. into a chamber in a chamber. “In one of the halls of the seraglio at Constantinople,” says Deut. Lam. Motraye, “the eunuch made us pass by several little chambers, with doors shut, like the cells of monks or nuns, as far as I could judge by one that another eunuch opened.” This exactly corresponds with the idea of a “chamber within a chamber;” and it would appear that Micaiah predicted that Zedekiah should fly for shelter to a Harem, which we have seen was deemed inviolate. – See note on 1Sa 19:16.1Ki 20:30, Isa 26:20
