Gill's Notes on the Bible
And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel,.... Supposed by the Jewish writers to be Micaiah the son of Imlah, 1 Kings 22:9 one of those perhaps that Obadiah hid in the cave, and now is sent out publicly on an errand to Ahab:
saying, thus saith the Lord, hast thou seen all this great multitude? considered what a vast number Benhadad's army consisted of:
behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; as great as it is:
and thou shalt know that I am the Lord; and not Baal, who can save by few as well as by many, and from a great multitude.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The rabbinical commentators conjecture that this prophet was Micaiah, the son of Imlah, who is mentioned below 1 Kings 22:8.
Hast thou seen all this great multitude? - The boast of Ben-hadad 1 Kings 20:10, was not without a basis of truth; his force seems to have exceeded 130, 000 (compare 1 Kings 20:25, 1 Kings 20:29-30). In his wars with the Assyrians we find him sometimes at the head of 100, 000 men.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 20:13. There came a prophet — Who this was we cannot tell; Jarchi says it was Micaiah, son of Imlah. It is strange that on such an occasion we hear nothing of Elijah or Elisha. Is it not possible that this was one of them disguised?
