ויאמר מלך ישראל קח את מיכיהו והשיבהו אל אמן שר העיר ואל יואש בן המלך
וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל קַ֚ח אֶת־מִיכָ֔יְהוּ וַהֲשִׁיבֵ֖הוּ אֶל־אָמֹ֣ן שַׂר־הָעִ֑יר וְאֶל־יוֹאָ֖שׁ בֶּן־הַמֶּֽלֶךְ ׃

Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
carry him back: 1 Kings 22:9
Reciprocal: 2 Kings 1:9 - sent unto 2 Chronicles 18:26 - Put Matthew 5:12 - for so Matthew 5:25 - and the Acts 24:25 - Go
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king of Israel said,.... To some of his officers:
take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city: the chief magistrate under the king; a sort of sheriff, who had the care of malefactors, and of all committed to prison, from whom he was received by the messenger, and now sent back to him:
and to Joash the king's son; who might be over his household, as sometimes the king's son was, 2 Chronicles 26:21 or might be viceroy while the king was without the city, and at the gate of it, and about to go to war.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Carry him back - literally, âcause him to return.â Micaiah had been in custody before, and was brought by Ahabâs messenger from his prison.
The governor of the city - This is one out of several notices respecting what may be called the âconstitutionâ of the Israelite kingdom. The king consulted on important matters a Council of elders 1 Kings 20:7-8. The general administration was carried on by means of the governors of provinces 1 Kings 20:14 and of cities 2 Kings 10:5. The governors of cities, like the monarch, were assisted and checked by councils of elders, the wise men of the several towns 1 Kings 21:8-12; 2 Kings 10:5. Thus Samaria, as we see from the present passage, was under a special governor, who, among his other duties, had the control of the public prison, and directed the treatment of the prisoners.
The kingâs son - The phrase seems to designate a state office, rather than relationship to the sovereign. Compare 2 Chronicles 28:7.
