22:15 Perhaps Micaiah is using a sarcastic repetition of the other prophets, leading Ahab to respond as he does in the next verse.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

22:15-16 The word sarcastically does not occur in the Hebrew text; the NLT simply makes explicit what Ahab sensed in Micaiah’s tone of voice (18:27; Job 12:1-2; 16:2).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

should we go

(Some words not found in UHB: and,came to/towards the=king and=he/it_said the=king to=him/it Micaiah ?,go to/towards Rāʼmōt- -gilead to_the,battle if refrain and=he/it_said to=him/it leaf_of and,triumph and=he/it_gave YHWH in/on/at/with,hand_of the,king )

The word “we” refers to Ahab, Jehoshaphat, and their armies but not to Micaiah.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

will give it into the hand of the king

(Some words not found in UHB: and,came to/towards the=king and=he/it_said the=king to=him/it Micaiah ?,go to/towards Rāʼmōt- -gilead to_the,battle if refrain and=he/it_said to=him/it leaf_of and,triumph and=he/it_gave YHWH in/on/at/with,hand_of the,king )

Here the word “hand” refers to power. Alternate translation: “will allow the king to capture it”

Prophets of the Old Testament before 800 B.C.

If you ask someone today what biblical prophets did, they will likely tell you that they divinely foretold of future events. While this was often the case, most prophets in the Bible focused as much on “forthtelling” God’s messages as they did on “foretelling” the future. That is, their primary role was to simply “forthtell” divinely acquired messages to leaders and groups of people, and at times that included foretelling of coming judgment, blessing, rescue, etc. Also, though plenty of prophets (sometimes called “seers” in Scripture) often spoke in confrontational or eccentric language that put them at odds with kings and religious leaders, the biblical writers also applied the term prophet to people who communicated God’s messages in ways that many readers today might not think of as prophecy, such as worship leaders appointed by David to “prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals” (1 Chronicles 25:1). Similarly, the books of Joshua, Judges, 1 & 2 Samuel, and 1 & 2 Kings are typically categorized as history by Christians, but in the Hebrew canon they belong to the category of Former Prophets. The Lord raised up prophets throughout all of biblical history, from the giving of the law under Moses to the revelation of the last days by the apostle John, and the kings of Israel and Judah often recognized and supported specific people as official prophets of the royal court and consulted them to find out God’s perspective about official matters. Following is a list of nearly everyone designated as prophet or seer in the Old Testament and the primary area of their ministry.
