1 Kings 22:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:10

And the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, sat
each on his throne
In great state and majesty:

having put on their robes;
their royal robes, which they wore when they appeared in pomp and grandeur:

in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria;
where courts of judicature were held, and there was an open void space for the people to assemble in to hear; the word has the signification of a corn floor, and the Jews suppose they and their attendants sat in a semicircle like the half of a corn floor, after the same manner in which they say the sanhedrim at Jerusalem sat ^F15:

and all the prophets prophesied before them;
concerning this affair of going to Ramothgilead.

1 Kings 22:10 In-Context

8 Ahab answered, "There is one more, Micaiah son of Imlah. But I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me; it's always something bad." "You shouldn't say that!" Jehoshaphat replied.

9 Then Ahab called in a court official and told him to go and get Micaiah at once.

10 The two kings, dressed in their royal robes, were sitting on their thrones at the threshing place just outside the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying in front of them.

11 One of them, Zedekiah son of Chenaanah, made iron horns and said to Ahab, "This is what the Lord says: "With these you will fight the Syrians and totally defeat them.' "

12 All the other prophets said the same thing. "March against Ramoth and you will win," they said. "The Lord will give you victory."
