Contextual Overview
1 Three years passed without war between Syria and Israel. 2 In the third year, Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel. 3 The king of Israel said to his servants, "Do you know that Ramothgilead belongs to us? We are still doing nothing to take it from the king of Syria." 4 And he said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to battle at Ramoth-gilead?" Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are. My people are as your people. My horses are as your horses." 5 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Ask first for the word of the Lord." 6 Then the king of Israel gathered together the men who spoke for God, 400 men. He said to them, "Should I go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or should I not?" And they said, "Go. For the Lord will give it to the king." 7 But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not another man who speaks for the Lord here, that we may ask him?" 8 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is only one other man whom we may ask of the Lord, but I hate him. He does not speak anything good about me, only bad. He is Micaiah the son of Imlah." But Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say that." 9 Then the king of Israel called a soldier and said, "Be quick to bring Micaiah the son of Imlah." 10 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones, dressed in their king's clothing. They sat at the grain-floor at the gate of Samaria. All the men who speak for God were speaking in front of them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then the king of Israel called an officer,.... An eunuch, as the word is sometimes used, one of pages:
and said, hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah; who, as it seems from
1 Kings 22:26 was in prison, where perhaps Ahab had cast him for his last prophecy to him, and where he had lain ever since; and this gives a reason why he could so readily send for him, knowing where he was.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
An officer - More properly, as in the margin, âa eunuch.â Eunuchs seem to have been first introduced among the Israelites by David (1 Chronicles 28:1 note). They were a natural accompaniment of the seraglio of Solomon. The present passage is the first which shows that, after the separation of the kingdom, the kings of Israel employed them (compare 2 Kings 8:6; 2 Kings 9:32).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 22:9. The king of Israel called an officer — סר×ס saris, literally a eunuch; probably a foreigner, for it was not lawful to disgrace an Israelite by reducing him to such a state.
