Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

JFB: 1Ki 22:18-23 - Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?

Since Ahab was disposed to trace this unwelcome truth to personal enmity, Micaiah proceeded fearlessly to tell the incensed monarch in full detail what had been revealed to him. The Hebrew prophets, borrowing their symbolic pictures from earthly scenes, described God in heaven as a king in His kingdom. And as earthly princes do nothing of importance without asking the advice of their counsellors, God is represented as consulting about the fate of Ahab. This prophetic language must not be interpreted literally, and the command must be viewed as only a permission to the lying spirit (Rom 11:34) [CALMET].

Clarke: 1Ki 22:23 - The Lord hath put a lying spirit

The Lord hath put a lying spirit - He hath permitted or suffered a lying spirit to influence thy prophets. Is it requisite again to remind the reader that the Scriptures repeatedly represent God as doing what, in the course of his providence, he only permits or suffers to be done? Nothing can be done in heaven, in earth, or hell, but either by his immediate energy or permission. This is the reason why the Scripture speaks as above.

Defender: 1Ki 22:23 - lying spirit

The question raised by this passage is why the God of truth would send a lying spirit to deceive the king of Israel. The fact is that Satan and his hosts of evil spirits can only pursue their evil goals to the extent God allows them to do so - as in the case of Job, for example. King Ahab (like the Pharaoh in the days of Moses) had so hardened his heart against God that God finally would allow an evil spirit to lead him to his own deserved destruction (compare Exo 7:3 and Exo 8:15). For such a mission, it would be more appropriate for God to release one of Satan's lying spirits to carry it out than to dispatch one of His holy angels (1Co 5:5)."

Gill: 1Ki 22:23 - Now therefore behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these thy prophets // and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee

Now therefore behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these thy prophets,.... That is, suffered the lying spirit to suggest a lie to them, and sent them strong delusions to believe that lie, whose minds were disposed at any rate to flatter Ahab, to whom they told it; which was the way designed to bring him to the ruin appointed for him:

and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee: he had decreed it in himself, declared it by Micaiah his prophet, and suffered all those steps to be taken by Satan and the false prophets, to bring him to it.
