1 Kings 22:26 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:26

And the king of Israel said
To some of his officers:

take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city:
the chief magistrate under the king; a sort of sheriff, who had the care of malefactors, and of all committed to prison, from whom he was received by the messenger, and now sent back to him:

and to Joash the king's son;
who might be over his household, as sometimes the king's son was, ( 2 Chronicles 26:21 ) or might be viceroy while the king was without the city, and at the gate of it, and about to go to war.

1 Kings 22:26 In-Context

24 Zedekiah, Chenaanah's son, approached Micaiah and slapped him on the cheek. "Just how did the LORD's spirit leave me to speak to you?" he asked.

25 Micaiah answered, "You will find out on the day you try to hide in an inner room."

26 "Arrest him," ordered Israel's king, "and turn him over to Amon the city official and to Joash the king's son.

27 Tell them, ‘The king says: Put this man in prison and feed him minimum rations of bread and water until I return safely.'"

28 "If you ever return safely," Micaiah replied, "then the LORD wasn't speaking through me." Then he added, "Pay attention, every last one of you!"
