Contextual Overview
15 Micaiah came to the king. And the king said to him, "Micaiah, should we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or should we not?" He answered, "Go up and do well. The Lord will give it to the king." 16 Then the king said to him, "How many times must I tell you to speak nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?" 17 So Micaiah said, "I saw all Israel spread upon the mountains like sheep which have no shepherd. And the Lord said, ‘These have no owner. Let each of them return to his house in peace.'" 18 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not speak good of me, but bad?" 19 Micaiah said, "So hear the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting on His throne. All those in heaven were standing by Him on His right and on His left. 20 The Lord said, ‘Who will lead Ahab to go up and die at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said one thing, and another said another thing. 21 Then a spirit came and stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will lead him.' 22 The Lord said to him, ‘How?' And he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all those who will tell what will happen in the future.' Then the Lord said, ‘You are to lead him, and do well. Go and do so.' 23 Now see, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these who tell what will happen in the future. The Lord has said bad things against you." 24 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came and hit Micaiah on the face and said, "How did the Spirit of the Lord go from me to speak to you?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Micaiah said, if thou return at all in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me,.... I am content to be reckoned a false prophet, and to be punished as such:
and, he said, hearken, O people, everyone of you; he called aloud unto them to observe what he had predicted, and mark the issue of it, and to bear testimony for him, or against him, as things should be.
