Melachim Alef 22:23 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:23

Now therefore behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the
mouths of all these thy prophets
That is, suffered the lying spirit to suggest a lie to them, and sent them strong delusions to believe that lie, whose minds were disposed at any rate to flatter Ahab, to whom they told it; which was the way designed to bring him to the ruin appointed for him:

and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee:
he had decreed it in himself, declared it by Micaiah his prophet, and suffered all those steps to be taken by Satan and the false prophets, to bring him to it.

Melachim Alef 22:23 In-Context

21 And there came forth the ruach, and stood before Hashem, and said, I will persuade him.

22 And Hashem said unto him, By what means? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a ruach sheker in the mouth of all his nevi’im. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also; go forth, do so.

23 Now therefore, hinei, Hashem hath put a ruach sheker in the mouth of all these thy nevi’im, and Hashem hath spoken ra’ah concerning thee.

24 But Tzidkiyah ben Kena’anah went near, and struck Mikhay’hu on the cheek, and said, Which way did the Ruach Hashem go when he went from me to speak to you?

25 And Mikhay’hu said, Hinei, thou shalt see in that yom, when thou shalt go into a cheder b’cheder (inner room) to hide thyself.
