14 cui Micheas ait vivit Dominus quia quodcumque dixerit mihi Dominus hoc loquar

1 Kings 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 ) .
