Melachim Alef 22:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:14

And Micaiah said, as the Lord liveth
He swore by the living God, for the confirmation of what he was about to say:

what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak;
truly and faithfully, keeping nothing back, nor adding anything, whether it be good or evil, pleasing or displeasing; it looks as if as yet he had no instruction from the Lord what to say, and yet the vision he later declares seems to have been had by him before, ( 1 Kings 22:17 1 Kings 22:19 ) .

Melachim Alef 22:14 In-Context

12 And all the nevi’im prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramot-Gil‘ad, and succeed: for Hashem shall deliver it into the yad HaMelech.

13 And the malach that was gone to summon Mikhay’hu spoke unto him, saying, Hinei now, the words of the nevi’im declare tov unto HaMelech with one mouth: let thy word be like the word of one of them, speak that which is tov.

14 And Mikhay’hu said, As Hashem liveth, what Hashem saith unto me, that will I speak.

15 So he came to HaMelech. And HaMelech said unto him, Mikhay’hu, shall we go against Ramot-Gil‘ad to battle, or shall we refrain? And he answered him, Go, and succeed: for Hashem shall deliver it into the yad HaMelech.

16 And HaMelech said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee [i.e., make thee swear] that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the Shem of Hashem?
