Melachim Alef 22:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:7

And Jehoshaphat said, is there not here a prophet of the Lord
besides, that we might inquire of him?
] He suspected these to be false prophets, though he would not call them so; nor suggest that they were not the prophets of the Lord, because he would not affront Ahab, who had an opinion of them; and therefore asks, if there were no other that went under the character of a prophet of the Lord, that he might inquire of him for his further satisfaction.

6 Then the Melech Yisroel gathered the nevi’im together, about 400 men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramot-Gil‘ad to battle, or shall I refrain? And they said, Go up; for Hashem shall deliver it into the hand of HaMelech.

7 And Yehoshaphat said, Is there not here a navi of Hashem besides, that we might inquire of him?

8 And the Melech Yisroel said unto Yehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Mikhay’hu ben Yimlah, by whom we may inquire of Hashem: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy tov concerning me, but rah. And Yehoshaphat said, Let not HaMelech say such.

9 Then HaMelech Yisroel called an officer, and said, Hasten here Mikhay’hu ben Yimlah.
