Contextual Overview
1 And there continued three years without war between Syria and Israel. 2 But it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down unto the king of Israel. 3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that, ours, is Ramoth-gilead, - yet, we, are too idle to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria? 4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to make war upon Ramoth-gilead? 5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people are us thy people, my horses as thy horses. 6 Then said Jehoshaphat unto the king of Israel, - Seek, I pray thee, at once, the word of Yahweh. So the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and said unto them - Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead, to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said - Go up, that the Lord may deliver it into the hand of the king. 7 Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, - that we may seek, from him? 8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Besides, is a certain man, by whom we might seek Yahweh, but, I, hate him, for he is never moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only evil, Micaiah, son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. 9 Then the king of Israel called a certain courtier, - and said, Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah. 10 Now, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, were sitting - each man upon his throne, having put on robes, in a level place, at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, - and, all the prophets, were being moved to prophesy before them;

And the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, sat each on his throne,.... In great state and majesty:
having put on their robes; their royal robes, which they wore when they appeared in pomp and grandeur:
in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; where courts of judicature were held, and there was an open void space for the people to assemble in to hear; the word has the signification of a corn floor, and the Jews suppose they and their attendants sat in a semicircle like the half of a corn floor, after the same manner in which they say the sanhedrim at Jerusalem sat o:

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Sat each on his throne - Or, “were sitting.” They had removed from the banquet 2 Chronicles 18:2 to the void place, or empty space at the entrance of the gate Ruth 4:1; 2 Samuel 15:2, where Ahab daily sat to hear complaints and decide causes. Each was seated upon his throne, the Oriental kings having portable thrones, which they took with them upon their journeys.
