the Lord: This prophecy is couched in the ambiguous terms in which the heathen oracles were delivered. It may mean, either "The Lord will deliver it (Ramoth Gilead) into the king's (Ahab's) hand;" or, "The Lord will deliver (Israel) into the king's (of Syria) hand." So in the famous reply of the Delphian oracle to Pyrrhus: Aio te Aacida, Romanos vincere posse: Ibis redibis nunquam in bello peribis; "I say to thee, Pyrrhus the Romans shall overcome. thou shalt go, thou shalt return never in war shalt thou perish.
Is there not: Kg2 3:11-13; Ch2 18:6, Ch2 18:7
yet one man: Kg1 18:4, Kg1 19:10, Kg1 19:14, Kg1 20:41, Kg1 20:42
but I hate him: Kg1 22:27, Kg1 20:43, Kg1 21:20; Gen 37:8; Ch2 36:16; Psa 34:21; Pro 9:8, Pro 15:12; Isa 49:7; Jer 18:18, Jer 20:10, Jer 43:3, Jer 43:4; Amo 5:10; Zac 11:8; Mat 10:22; Joh 3:19-21, Joh 7:7, Joh 15:18, Joh 15:19, Joh 17:14; Gal 4:16; Rev 11:7-10

void place: Heb. floor
all the prophets: Kg1 18:29; Ch2 18:9-11; Jer 27:14-16; Eze 13:1-9
horns of iron: Jer 27:2, Jer 28:10-14; Zac 1:18-21; Act 19:13-16; Co2 11:13-15; Ti2 3:8
Thus saith: Jer 23:17, Jer 23:25, Jer 23:31, Jer 28:2, Jer 28:3, Jer 29:21; Eze 13:6-9, Eze 22:27, Eze 22:28; Mic 3:11

what the Lord: Num 22:38, Num 24:13; Ch2 18:12, Ch2 18:13; Jer 23:28, Jer 26:2, Jer 26:3, Jer 42:4; Eze 2:4-8; Eze 3:17-19; Act 20:26, Act 20:27; Co2 2:17, Co2 4:2; Gal 1:10
shall we go: Kg1 22:6
Go and prosper: This was strong irony; they were the precise words of the false prophets; but were spoken by Micaiah in such a tone and manner as at once shewed Ahab that he did not believe, but ridiculed these words of uncertainty. The reply of the Delphian oracle to Crosesus was as ambiguous as that returned to Pyrrhus, Croesus Halym penetrans magnam pervertet opum vim, "If Croesus crosses the Halys, he will overthrow a great empire." This he understood of the empire of Cyrus; the event proved it to be his own. he was deluded, yet the oracle maintained its credit. Kg1 18:27; Jdg 10:14; Kg2 3:13; Ch2 18:14; Ecc 11:9; Mat 26:45
shall I adjure: Jos 6:26; Sa1 14:24; Ch2 18:15; Mat 26:63; Mar 5:7; Act 19:13

Did I not tell: Kg1 22:8; Pro 10:24, Pro 27:22, Pro 29:1; Luk 11:45
Hear thou: Isa 1:10, Isa 28:14; Jer 2:4, Jer 29:20, Jer 42:15; Eze 13:2; Amo 7:16
I saw the Lord: Micaiah evidently gives here an account of what appeared to him in a vision. many of the circumstances must be considered as parabolical; for truth, rather than facts, is revealed in such representations. Ch2 18:18-22; Isa 6:1-3; Eze 1:26-28; Dan 7:9, Dan 7:10; Act 7:55, Act 7:56; Rev 4:2, Rev 4:3

Tharshish: Josephus and the Chaldee and Arabic paraphrasts explain this place of Tarsus in Cilicia; the LXX, Theodoret, and Jerome, understand it of Carthage; but the learned Bochart makes it Tartessus, an island in the straits of Gades. Ibn Haukal describes Tarsousa as belonging to Andalus, or Andalusia; and Festus Avienus expressly says, Hic Gadir urbs est dicta Tartessus prius, "the city Cadiz was formerly called Tartessus."
