LA Et ille ait: Egrediar, et ero spiritus mendax in ore omnium prophetarum ejus. Et dixit Dominus: Decipies, et prævalebis: egredere, et fac ita.
EN And he said: I will go forth, and be a lying spirit, in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: You shall deceive him, and shall prevail: go forth, and do so.
^22
[!note]- Go forth, and do so…
This was not a command, but a permission: for God never ordains lies; though he often permits the lying spirit to deceive those who love not the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:10. And in this sense it is said in the following verse, The Lord hath given a lying spirit in the mouth of all your prophets. Commentary on the Old Testament (1752)

EN And Sedecias, the son of Chanaana, came, and struck Micah on the cheek, and said: Hath then the spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to you?
^24
25

^27
28

LA Dixitque Michæas: Si reversus fueris in pace, non est locutus in me Dominus. Et ait: Audite, populi omnes.
EN And Micah said: If you return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all you people.
^28
29
GR καὶ ἀνέβη βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα μετ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ

EN And a certain man bent his bow, shooting at a venture, and chanced to strike the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. But he said to the driver of his chariot: Turn your hand, and carry me out of the army, for I am grievously wounded.
^34
35
GR καὶ ἐτροπώθη ὁ πόλεμος ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἦν ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τοῦ ἅρματος ἐξ ἐναντίας Συρίας ἀπὸ πρωὶ ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἀπέχυννε τὸ αἷμα ἐκ τῆς πληγῆς εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ ἅρματος καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἑσπέρας καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο τὸ αἷμα τῆς τροπῆς ἕως τοῦ κόλπου τοῦ ἅρματος

EN So Achab slept with his fathers; and Ochozias, his son, reigned in his stead.
^40
[!note]- Go up, etc…
This was spoken ironically, and by way of jesting at the flattering speeches of the false prophets: and so the king understood it, as appears by his adjuring Micah, in the following verse, to tell him the truth in the name of the Lord. Commentary on the Old Testament (1752)
[!note]- The Lord said, etc…
God stands not in need of any counsellor; nor are we to suppose that things pass in heaven in the manner here described: but this representation was made to the prophet, to be delivered by him in a manner adapted to the common ways and notions of men. Commentary on the Old Testament (1752)
[!note]- Go into a chamber, etc…
This happened when he heard the king was slain, and justly apprehended that he should be punished for his false prophecy. Commentary on the Old Testament (1752)
