1 Kings 22:28 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:28

And Micaiah said, if thou return at all in peace, the Lord
hath not spoken by me
I am content to be reckoned a false prophet, and to be punished as such:

and, he said, hearken, O people, everyone of you;
he called aloud unto them to observe what he had predicted, and mark the issue of it, and to bear testimony for him, or against him, as things should be.

27 Give them this order from the king: ‘Put this man in prison, and feed him nothing but bread and water until I return safely from the battle!’”

28 But Micaiah replied, “If you return safely, it will mean that the LORD has not spoken through me!” Then he added to those standing around, “Everyone mark my words!”
