1 Kings 22:25

Verse 25 of 53. The 22nd of 22 chapters in 1 Kings, in History.

21And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.

25And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

26And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;

27And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.

29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth–gilead.

Matthew Henry on 1 Kings 22:25

Ahab was pleased with it, and Jehoshaphat had not courage to appear for the injured prophet, pretending it was out of his jurisdiction; but Micaiah, though he returns not his blow (God's prophets are not strikers nor persecutors, dare not avenge themselves, render blow for blow, or be in any way accessory to the breach of the peace), yet, since he boasted so much of the Spirit, as those commonly do that know least of his operations, he leaves him…
