Go and prosper This was strong irony; they were the precise words of the false prophets; but were spoken by Micaiah in such a tone and manner as at once shewed Ahab that he did not believe, but ridiculed these words of uncertainty.

This he understood of the empire of Cyrus; the event proved it to be his own. He was deluded, yet the oracle maintained its credit. 1Kgs 18:27; Judg 10:14; 2Kgs 3:13; 2Chr 18:14; Eccl 11:9; Matt 26:45

I saw the Lord Micaiah evidently gives here an account of what appeared to him in a vision. Many of the circumstances must be considered as parabolical; for truth, rather than facts, is revealed in such representations. 2Chr 18:18-22; Isa 6:1-3; Ezek 1:26-28; Dan 7:9-10; Acts 7:55-56; Rev 4:2-3
