Contextual Overview

¹⁵ When Micaiah came to Ahab, the king asked him, "Micaiah, should we attack Ramoth in Gilead or not?" Micaiah answered, "Attack and win! The Lord will hand them over to you." ¹⁶ But Ahab said to Micaiah, "How many times do I have to tell you to speak only the truth to me in the name of the Lord ?" ¹⁷ So Micaiah answered, "I saw the army of Israel scattered over the hills like sheep without a shepherd. The Lord said, ‘They have no leaders. They should go home and not fight.'" ¹⁸ Then Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I told you! He never prophesies anything good about me, but only bad." ¹⁹ But Micaiah said, "Hear the message from the Lord : I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with his heavenly army standing near him on his right and on his left. ²⁰ The Lord said, ‘Who will trick Ahab into attacking Ramoth in Gilead where he will be killed?' "Some said one thing; some said another. ²¹ Then one spirit came and stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will trick him.' ²² "The Lord asked, ‘How will you do it?' "The spirit answered, ‘I will go to Ahab's prophets and make them tell lies.' "So the Lord said, ‘You will succeed in tricking him. Go and do it.'" ²³ Micaiah said, "Ahab, the Lord has made your prophets lie to you, and the Lord has decided that disaster should come to you." ²⁴ Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah went up to Micaiah and slapped him in the face. Zedekiah said, "Has the Lord 's spirit left me to speak through you?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said,.... The prophet, in a serious and solemn manner, being adjured by the king:

I saw all Israel scattered on the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd; the armies of Israel routed, dispersed, and fleeing, some one way and some another, on the mountains of Gilead near Ramoth, weak and helpless, not knowing where to go for safety, having none to direct them; and this was either now instantly represented to his mind, or what had been before in a dream or vision:

and the Lord said, these have no master; these sheep have no shepherd this army hath no general,

[Israel] has [lost its king]: let them return every man to his house in peace, very few slain, Jarchi thinks Ahab only, see 1 Kings 22:31 that part of the threatening, 1 Kings 20:42 was now to he accomplished, "thy life shall go for his life", but the other part, "and thy people for his people", was to be deferred to another time.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thus adjured, Micaiah wholly changes his tone. Ahab cannot possibly mistake the meaning of his vision, especially as the metaphor of “sheep and shepherd” for king and people was familiar to the Israelites from the prayer of Moses Numbers 27:17.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 22:17. These have no master — Here the prophet foretells the defeat of Israel, and the death of the king; they were as sheep that had not a shepherd, people that had no master, the political shepherd and master (Ahab) shall fall in battle.
