Jehoshaphat, joined in affinity with Ahab, is persuaded to go against Ramoth Gilead4. Ahab, seduced by false prophets, according to the word of Micaiah, is slain there The king of Israel then ordered This phrase introduces us to the authority and decision-making power of the king of Israel, who at this time is Ahab. Ahab's reign is marked by idolatry and opposition to the prophets of Yahweh. The Hebrew root for "ordered" (צָוָה, tsavah) implies a command or decree, reflecting the king's authoritative position. Historically, kings in ancient Israel held significant power, often making decisions that affected the entire nation. Ahab's order here is a direct response to the prophet Micaiah's unfavorable prophecy, showcasing the tension between political power and divine truth. Take Micaiah and return him to Amon, the governor of the city and to Joash, the king’s son Governor.--Sar, "prefect." LXX., ???????. Syriact shallit. Carry back--i.e., convey back. Literally, make him return. Verse 25. - Carry him back. The last of these three words tells, of course, its own tale, of what had already been the treatment accorded to Micaiah. Amon the governor... Joash the king's son. This latter person is found only here and in the parallel, and the designation given him probably does not intend a personal relationship to the king, but an official; so see again 2 Chronicles 28:7; and note the conjunction again of the governor of the house, in the next clause. The Vulgate translates the Hebrew for "the king's," as though it were a proper name, "Amelech." See also Smith's 'Bible Dictionary,' under the name "Maaseiah" 17. Nor is Amon the governor known elsewhere except in the parallel (1 Kings 22:26), but these designations, as through some chinks, throw a little scanty light into the subject of the internal administration at this time of the kingdom of Israel. In this kingdom subsequent to the separation, decentralization seems to have been carried to a further point than in Judah, and considering its greater extent, its far inferior metropolitan force, its double place of worship and sacrifice, these largely idolatrous, and in all this the undoubted degraded authority of its central government, this is very explainable. It is true that in both kingdoms history speaks equally of such offices and officers as were distinctly military or looked that way, but it can scarcely be without a reason that for the numerous allusions in Israel (1 Kings 16:8-10; 1 Kings 18:3; 1 Kings 20:7; 1 Kings 21:7-13; 2 Kings 1:8-17; 2 Kings 3:6; 2 Kings 10:5) to councils of elders (well known before the disruption), and governors of palaces, of cities, of houses, and of provinces, there is scarcely one in the records of Judah. Here possibly enough the executive would be more vigorous, more compact, and more direct and close in its action from headquarters, while in both divisions of what should have been the one kingdom, royalty was by profession constitutional, and in its devolution hereditary.Parallel Commentaries ...
