1 Reis 22:21 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:21

And there came forth a spirit
Not from the heavenly host on the right hand or the left, for they are pure and holy spirits, and impeccable, and cannot lie or deceive; but the evil spirit, Satan, the father of lies, the old deceiver, who came forth from his own place and his own company:

and stood before the Lord
presented himself before him, as Satan did, ( Job 1:6 ) ,

and said, l will persuade him;
or prevail upon him; evil spirits love to be employed in doing harm to men, they go about seeking whom they may devour. This could not be the spirit of Naboth, as the Jews say {q}, seeking revenge on Ahab; that was in a state of happiness, could not move from thence, and be capable of sinning.

1 Reis 22:21 In-Context

19 MicaĂ­as prosseguiu: “Ouça a palavra do SENHOR: Vi o SENHOR assentado em seu trono, com todo o exĂ©rcito dos cĂ©us ao seu redor, Ă  sua direita e Ă  sua esquerda.
20 E o SENHOR disse: ‘Quem enganará Acabe para que ataque Ramote-Gileade e morra lá?’“E um sugeria uma coisa, outro sugeria outra,
21 atĂ© que, finalmente, um espĂ­rito apresentou-se diante do SENHOR e disse: ‘Eu o enganarei’.
22 “ ‘De que maneira?’, perguntou o SENHOR.“Ele respondeu: ‘Irei e serei um espĂ­rito mentiroso na boca de todos os profetas do rei’.“Disse o SENHOR: ‘VocĂȘ conseguirĂĄ enganĂĄ-lo; vĂĄ e engane-o’.
23 “E o SENHOR pîs um espírito mentiroso na boca destes seus profetas. O SENHOR decretou a sua desgraça”.
