Micaiah's prophecy. Ahab, in displeasure, sends him to prison (2 Chronicles 18:12-27)

13. And the messenger that was gone[R.V. went] to call Micaiah The tradition, which Josephus preserves, that the -son of the prophets" mentioned in 1 Kings 20:35, was Micaiah, and that Ahab put him in prison for his actions at that time (see notes on 1 Kings 20:35; 1 Kings 20:43) has been derived from the circumstance that Micaiah on this occasion was sent to prison, and the king uses the words (1 Kings 22:26) -Take Micaiah and carry him back," &c. But there is nothing in this account of the message to him which proves that he was in prison when Ahab sent to call him; and -Put this fellow in prison" (1 Kings 22:27) is no evidence that he had been there before, but rather the reverse.

speakthat which is good R.V. speak thou good. This is the A.V. in 2 Chronicles.
