Of course Ahab was desirous of representing to Jehoshaphat that it was out of ill will that Micaiah spake always evil; and he appears to have weakened the effect of the prophet’s words in some way, or else, after such a solemn portending of disaster, Jehoshaphat would hardly have joined the expedition. It was perhaps with the consciousness of the effect which was being produced on the mind of the king of Judah, that Micaiah proceeds to unfold a further vision shewing how God was allowing Ahab to be led astray to his destruction.<\/p>\n See 1Ki 22:8<\/span>. Ahab implies that he believes Micaiah to have spoken out of pure malevolence, without any authority for his prediction from God. By implication he invites Jehoshaphat to disregard this pseudo-prophecy, and to put his trust in the unanimous declaration of the 400. Micaiah, therefore, proceeds to explain the contradiction between himself and the 400, by recounting another vision.<\/P> <\/p>\n Now thou seest my words verified, and this man showing his hatred by this malignant and treasonable prophecy, and how little heed is to be given to his words: which crafty insinuation seems to have had too great an influence upon good Jehoshaphat; otherwise he would never have gone to the battle. <\/P> <\/p>\n 18-23. Did I not tell thee that hewould prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?<\/B>Since Ahab wasdisposed to trace this unwelcome truth to personal enmity, Micaiahproceeded fearlessly to tell the incensed monarch in full detail whathad been revealed to him. The Hebrew prophets, borrowing theirsymbolic pictures from earthly scenes, described God in heaven as aking in His kingdom. And as earthly princes do nothing of importancewithout asking the advice of their counsellors, God is represented asconsulting about the fate of Ahab. This prophetic language must notbe interpreted literally, and the command must be viewed as only apermission to the lying spirit (Ro11:34<\/span>) [CALMET].<\/P><\/p>\n And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat<\/strong>,…. Plainly perceiving that the prophet foretold that he should fall in battle:<\/p>\n did not I tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil<\/strong>? intimating that this proceeded from spite and malice, from ill will to him and hatred of him, and was not from the Lord, and therefore not to be regarded; he had told him three years ago his life should go for letting Benhadad go; but it had not proved true, and no more would this; and Jehoshaphat being an easy man, and too credulous, believed what Ahab said of the character of this prophet, or otherwise it is not to be accounted for that he should go with him to war after such a declaration made.<\/p>\n 1Ki 22:18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?<\/p>\n Ver. 18. Did I not tell thee? &c.<\/strong> ] Hereby he would persuade Jehoshaphat – and perhaps did so persuade him – that Micaiah spake all out of ill-will, which never speaks well, and therefore was not much to be regarded.<\/p>\n Did I not. ?

The king of Israel said, Did not I tell thee, &c. Now thou seest my words verified, and how this man shows his hatred by his malignant and treasonable prophecy, and how little regard is to be paid to his words. Which crafty insinuation seems to have had too great an influence on good Jehoshaphat, otherwise he would not have gone to the battle. That he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil Nay, but what evil was it to tell him what would be the event if he proceeded in his expedition, while it was in his own power whether he would proceed or not? The greatest kindness we can do to one that is walking in a dangerous way is to tell him of his danger.<\/p>\n And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? 18. that he would prophesy no good ] R.V.
