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.

24 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, "How did the Spirit of the LORD pass from me to speak to you?"

25 Micaiah said, "Behold, you shall see on that day when you enter an inner room to hide yourself."

26 Then the king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son;

27 and say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this man in prison and feed him sparingly with bread and water until I return safely.""'

28 Micaiah said, "If you indeed return safely the LORD has not spoken by me." And he said, "Listen, all you people."
