1 Reyes 22:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:19

And he saith, hear thou therefore the word of the Lord
Since he had represented what he had said as proceeding from hatred to him, he would make it clear and plain that what he had said was the word of the Lord, and according to his mind; and that what the other prophets had said was owing to a lying spirit in them, which the Lord suffered for his ruin; all which are represented as in a vision, in which things are brought down to the capacities of men, and not as really transacted:

I saw the Lord sitting on his throne;
so it was represented to his mind, as if he had seen with his bodily eyes the divine Being in a glorious form, as a king sitting on his throne, to do justice and judgment; as Ahab and Jehoshaphat were now sitting on their thrones, only as a far greater King, even the King of kings, and in a more splendid manner:

and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his
left
the ministering angels ready to do his will.

20 Y el SEÑOR dijo: “¿Quién seducirá a Acab para que ataque a Ramot de Galaad y vaya a morir allí?” Uno sugería una cosa, y otro sugería otra.
