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;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Micaiah, as a true prophet of Yahweh, of course rejected the counsel offered him, which he felt to be at once wicked and foolish. Compare also the resolution of Balaam, marginal reference.
