Lièwángjìshang 22:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:13

And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto
him
By the way, as they came along together, as Josephus ^F16 observes:

behold, now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with
one mouth;
they are unanimous that he shall prosper in his undertaking against the Syrians:

let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak
that which is good;
which, as an ignorant man, he might advise to from good will to the prophet, that he might not be branded with singularity, and a spirit of contradiction, and that he might have the favour of the king, and be released from prison, pitying his miserable condition in which he found him.
