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 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 to thee?

25 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

27 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this [man] in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction, and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.

28 And Micaiah said, If thou shalt return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
