2 Chronicles 18:22 - Exposition

The vision culminating as regards its practical object in this verse is Micaiah's bold explanation of how it comes to pass that he has to boar the brunt of Ahab's "hate," on account of the uniformly unfavourable character of his answers to him, instead of four hundred other men sharing it with him. He declares, on the authority of his rapt vision, that it is because they are possessed by a lying spirit ( Romans 1:25 , Romans 1:28 ; 1 Thessalonians 2:12 ). And, like the true prophet of all time, he declares it at all hazards and at all cost.
