What does 1 Kings 22:24 mean?
But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near
Stepped in haste and passion from the place where he was:
and smote Micaiah on the cheek;
in contempt of him, and to show his indignation at what he said;
this he did in open court, before two kings; one he believed
would favour and screen him in this lawless action, and the
other, out of his own jurisdiction, had not courage and presence
of mind to resent it:
and said, which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to
speak unto
thee?
hereby boasting that he had the Spirit of the Lord, and was
directed by him in what he said, and still remained with him, and
could not possibly go to Micaiah, and suggest the very reverse;
and therefore pertly asks him which way the spirit went,
intimating that it was impossible he could steer a course
contrary to himself.
