Kings I 22:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:10

And the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, sat
each on his throne
In great state and majesty:

having put on their robes;
their royal robes, which they wore when they appeared in pomp and grandeur:

in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria;
where courts of judicature were held, and there was an open void space for the people to assemble in to hear; the word has the signification of a corn floor, and the Jews suppose they and their attendants sat in a semicircle like the half of a corn floor, after the same manner in which they say the sanhedrim at Jerusalem sat ^F15:

and all the prophets prophesied before them;
concerning this affair of going to Ramothgilead.

Kings I 22:10 In-Context

8 That ye are conspiring against me, and there is no one that informs me, whereas my son has made a covenant with the son of Jessae, and there is no one of you that is sorry for me, or informs me, that my son has stirred up my servant against me for an enemy, as this day?

9 And Doec the Syrian who was over the mules of Saul answered and said, I saw the son of Jessae as he came to Nomba to Abimelech son of Achitob the priest.

10 And enquired of God for him, and gave him provision, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.

11 And the king sent to call Abimelech son of Achitob and all his father's sons, the priests that were in Nomba; and they all came to the king.

12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Achitob. And he said, Lo! I , speak, lord.
