1 Reis 22:8

8 O rei de Israel respondeu a Josafá: “Ainda há um homem por meio de quem podemos consultar o SENHOR, mas eu o odeio, porque nunca profetiza coisas boas a meu respeito, mas sempre coisas ruins. É Micaías, filho de Inlá”.“O rei não deveria dizer isso”, Josafá respondeu.

1 Reis 22:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:8

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, there is yet one
man (Micaiah the son of Imlah), by whom we may inquire of the Lord,
&c.] And but one in Samaria; Elijah and Elisha were elsewhere:

but I hate him, for he doth not prophesy of good concerning me, but
evil;
who is thought to be the same that was several times with him when engaged in the war with the king of Syria, ( 1 Kings 20:13 1 Kings 20:22 1 Kings 20:28 1 Kings 20:35 1 Kings 20:38 ) and each time, excepting the last, he brought him good tidings; but because, in his last message, he told him, that, since he had let Benhadad go, his life should go for his life, and his people for his people, for that he hated him:

and Jehoshaphat said, let not the king say so;
which was very modestly, though perhaps too gently, said; suggesting that the prophets of the Lord should be heard, respected, and honoured, let their message be as it would, since they spake not of their own mind and will, but what they were moved unto by the Spirit of God.

1 Reis 22:8 In-Context

6 Então o rei de Israel reuniu quatrocentos profetas e lhes perguntou: “Devo ir à guerra contra Ramote-Gileade, ou não?”Eles responderam: “Sim, pois o Senhor a entregará nas mãos do rei”.

7 Josafá, porém, perguntou: “Não existe aqui mais nenhum profeta do SENHOR a quem possamos consultar?”

8 O rei de Israel respondeu a Josafá: “Ainda há um homem por meio de quem podemos consultar o SENHOR, mas eu o odeio, porque nunca profetiza coisas boas a meu respeito, mas sempre coisas ruins. É Micaías, filho de Inlá”.“O rei não deveria dizer isso”, Josafá respondeu.

9 Então o rei de Israel chamou um dos seus oficiais e disse: “Traga Micaías, filho de Inlá, imediatamente”.

10 Usando vestes reais, o rei de Israel e Josafá, rei de Judá, estavam sentados em seus tronos, na eira, junto à porta de Samaria, e todos os profetas estavam profetizando em transe diante deles.
