1 Kings 22:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:7

And Jehoshaphat said, is there not here a prophet of the Lord
besides, that we might inquire of him?
] He suspected these to be false prophets, though he would not call them so; nor suggest that they were not the prophets of the Lord, because he would not affront Ahab, who had an opinion of them; and therefore asks, if there were no other that went under the character of a prophet of the Lord, that he might inquire of him for his further satisfaction.

6 So Ahab called in the prophets, about four hundred of them, and asked them, "Should I go and attack Ramoth, or not?" "Attack it," they answered. "The Lord will give you victory."
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, "Isn't there another prophet through whom we can consult the Lord?"
8 Ahab answered, "There is one more, Micaiah son of Imlah. But I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me; it's always something bad." "You shouldn't say that!" Jehoshaphat replied.
9 Then Ahab called in a court official and told him to go and get Micaiah at once.
