And Micaiah said, As Jehovah liveth, what my God saith, that will I speak. And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear. And he said, Go ye up, and prosper; and they shall be delivered into your hand.[3] And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of Jehovah?[4] And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and Jehovah said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace. And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil? And Micaiah said, Therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. And Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one spake, saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner. And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah, and said, I will entice him. And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice him, and shalt prevail also: go forth, and do so. Now therefore, behold, Jehovah hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets; and Jehovah hath spoken evil concerning thee.”<\/p>\n E.M. Zerr:<\/p>\n 2Ch 18:12. As the conversations recorded in the foregoing paragraph were going on, the messenger had arrived in the presence of Micaiah. He tried to prejudice him by reference to the 400 prophets who had spoken their minds already. The natural desire to be “on the side of the majority” was appealed to by the messenger, when he told Micaiah the purpose of his visit. He suggested that his word would be like that of the other prophets who had spoken favorably to the king. <\/p>\n 2Ch 18:13. This speech of Micaiah was similar in principle to the one made by Balsam to the messengers of Balak. (Num 22:18.) <\/p>\n 2Ch 18:14. Much of the meaning of a speech is indicated by the voice and facial expression of the speaker. We cannot see nor hear Micaiah as he makes this speech, but we are sure that it is made in irony. That is language used for a meaning directly opposite of the way it sounds. <\/p>\n 2Ch 18:15. The king was Ahab since he was the one who had sent for Micaiah. (2Ch 18:8.) He detected the irony in the speech and chastised him for it. Ahab would welcome any favorable prediction, but he would want it to be given in seriousness. Adjure means to make an oath. He meant to charge Micaiah to tell the truth as if he were under oath. <\/p>\n 2Ch 18:16. Micaiah then spoke seriously and described a vision that the Lord had given him. In that he saw the defeat of the forces of Ahab. <\/p>\n 2Ch 18:17. In disgust and despair, the king of Israel broke into the scene with an “I-told-you-so” statement. <\/p>\n 2Ch 18:18. But Micaiah was not through with describing his vision. He had been permitted to witness a scene in the presence of the throne of God. The host of heaven would mean a numerous mass of celestial beings, ready to do the bidding of the Lord. <\/p>\n 2Ch 18:19-22.
