Melachim Alef 22:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:20

And the Lord said, who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up
and fall at Ramothgilead?
&c.] Not that it can be supposed that the Lord entered into a consultation with the angels upon this subject; only that it was the decree of God that he should go thither, and fall by the hand of the man whom he had let go, as a just punishment of him:

and one said on this manner, and another said on that manner;
not that there was such an altercation among them; it only signifies, that there are various ways and means, by which the purposes and decrees of God may be and are brought about.
