1 Kings 22:28 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:28

And Micaiah said, if thou return at all in peace, the Lord
hath not spoken by me
I am content to be reckoned a false prophet, and to be punished as such:

and, he said, hearken, O people, everyone of you;
he called aloud unto them to observe what he had predicted, and mark the issue of it, and to bear testimony for him, or against him, as things should be.
