Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

the prophets together: 1 Kings 18:19, 2 Timothy 4:3

It may mean, either "The Lord will deliver it (Ramoth Gilead) into the king's (Ahab's) hand;" or, "The Lord will deliver (Israel) into the king's (of Syria) hand." So in the famous reply of the Delphian oracle to Pyrrhus: Aio te Aacida, Romanos vincere posse: Ibis redibis nunquam in bello peribis; "I say to thee, Pyrrhus the Romans shall overcome. Thou shalt go, thou shalt return never in war shalt thou perish."

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

yet one man: 1 Kings 18:4, 1 Kings 19:10, 1 Kings 19:14, 1 Kings 20:41, 1 Kings 20:42

And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.

Behold now: Psalms 10:11, Psalms 11:1, Psalms 14:1, Psalms 50:21, Isaiah 30:10, Isaiah 30:11, Hosea 7:3, Amos 7:13-17, Micah 2:6, Micah 2:7, Micah 2:11, 1 Corinthians 2:14-16

And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.

what the Lord: Numbers 22:38, Numbers 24:13, 2 Chronicles 18:12, 2 Chronicles 18:13, Jeremiah 23:28, Jeremiah 26:2, Jeremiah 26:3, Jeremiah 42:4, Ezekiel 2:4-8, Ezekiel 3:17-19, Acts 20:26, Acts 20:27, 2 Corinthians 2:17, 2 Corinthians 4:2, Galatians 1:10

So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

shall we go: 1 Kings 22:6
Go and prosper: This was strong irony; they were the precise words of the false prophets; but were spoken by Micaiah in such a tone and manner as at once shewed Ahab that he did not believe, but ridiculed these words of uncertainty. The reply of the Delphian oracle to Crosesus was as ambiguous as that returned to Pyrrhus, Croesus Halym penetrans magnam pervertet opum vim, "If Croesus crosses the Halys, he will overthrow a great empire." This he understood of the empire of Cyrus; the event proved it to be his own: he was deluded, yet the oracle maintained its credit. 1 Kings 18:27, Judges 10:14, 2 Kings 3:13, 2 Chronicles 18:14, Ecclesiastes 11:9, Matthew 26:45

And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.

And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

Hear thou: Isaiah 1:10, Isaiah 28:14, Jeremiah 2:4, Jeremiah 29:20, Jeremiah 42:15, Ezekiel 13:2, Amos 7:16
I saw the Lord: Micaiah evidently gives here an account of what appeared to him in a vision: many of the circumstances must be considered as parabolical; for truth, rather than facts, is revealed in such representations. 2 Chronicles 18:18-22, Isaiah 6:1-3, Ezekiel 1:26-28, Daniel 7:9, Daniel 7:10, Acts 7:55, Acts 7:56, Revelation 4:2, Revelation 4:3

And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.

persuade: or, deceive, Job 12:16, Jeremiah 4:10, Ezekiel 14:9

And the LORD 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 persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

a lying spirit: Job 1:8-11, Job 2:4-6, John 8:44, Acts 5:3, Acts 5:4, 2 Thessalonians 2:9, 2 Thessalonians 2:10, 1 Timothy 4:1, 1 John 4:6, Revelation 12:9, Revelation 12:10, Revelation 13:14, Revelation 16:13, Revelation 16:14, Revelation 20:3, Revelation 20:7, Revelation 20:10

But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?
