Contextual Overview
1 For three years there was no war between Aram and Isra'el. 2 Then, in the third year, Y'hoshafat the king of Y'hudah came down to the king of Isra'el. 3 The king of Isra'el said to his servants, "Are you aware that Ramot-Gil‘ad belongs to us; yet, we're doing nothing to recover it from the king of Aram?" 4 He said to Y'hoshafat, "Will you go with me to attack Ramot-Gil‘ad?" Y'hoshafat answered the king of Isra'el, "I'm with you all the way; think of my troops and horses as yours." 5 But Y'hoshafat said to the king of Isra'el, "First, we should seek the word of Adonai ." 6 So the king of Isra'el assembled the prophets, about 400 men. "Should I attack Ramot-Gil‘ad?" he asked them, "Or should I hold off?" They said, "Attack! Adonai will hand it over to the king." 7 But Y'hoshafat said, "Besides these, isn't there a prophet of Adonai here that we can consult?" 8 The king of Isra'el said to Y'hoshafat, "Yes, there is still one man through whom we can consult Adonai , Mikhay'hu the son of Yimlah; but I hate him, because he doesn't prophesy good things for me, but bad!" Y'hoshafat replied, "The king shouldn't say such a thing." 9 Then the king of Isra'el called an officer and said, "Quickly! Bring Mikhay'hu the son of Yimlah." 10 Now the king of Isra'el and Y'hoshafat the king of Y'hudah were each sitting on his throne, dressed in their royal robes, on a threshing-floor at the entrance to the gate of Shomron; and all the prophets were there, prophesying in their presence.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Micaiah said, as the Lord liveth,.... He swore by the living God, for the confirmation of what he was about to say:
what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak; truly and faithfully, keeping nothing back, nor adding anything, whether it be good or evil, pleasing or displeasing; it looks as if as yet he had no instruction from the Lord what to say, and yet the vision he later declares seems to have been had by him before, 1 Kings 22:17.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Micaiah, as a true prophet of Yahweh, of course rejected the counsel offered him, which he felt to be at once wicked and foolish. Compare also the resolution of Balaam, marginal reference.
