Hear thou: Isaiah 1:10, Isaiah 28:14, Jeremiah 2:4, Jeremiah 29:20, Jeremiah 42:15, Ezekiel 13:2, Amos 7:16

I saw the Lord: Micaiah evidently gives here an account of what appeared to him in a vision: many of the circumstances must be considered as parabolical; for truth, rather than facts, is revealed in such representations. 2 Chronicles 18:18-22, Isaiah 6:1-3, Ezekiel 1:26-28, Daniel 7:9, Daniel 7:10, Acts 7:55, Acts 7:56, Revelation 4:2, Revelation 4:3

all the host: Job 1:6, Job 2:1, Psalms 103:20, Psalms 103:21, Isaiah 6:2, Isaiah 6:3, Zechariah 1:10, Matthew 18:10, Matthew 25:31, Hebrews 1:7, Hebrews 1:14, Hebrews 12:22, Revelation 5:11

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he saith, hear thou therefore the word of the Lord,.... Since he had represented what he had said as proceeding from hatred to him, he would make it clear and plain that what he had said was the word of the Lord, and according to his mind; and that what the other prophets had said was owing to a lying spirit in them, which the Lord suffered for his ruin; all which are represented as in a vision, in which things are brought down to the capacities of men, and not as really transacted:

I saw the Lord sitting on his throne; so it was represented to his mind, as if he had seen with his bodily eyes the divine Being in a glorious form, as a king sitting on his throne, to do justice and judgment; as Ahab and Jehoshaphat were now sitting on their thrones, only as a far greater King, even the King of kings, and in a more splendid manner:

and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left the ministering angels ready to do his will.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

David’s Psalms had familiarised the Israelites with Yahweh sitting upon a throne in the heavens (Psalms 9:7; Psalms 11:4; Psalms 45:6; Psalms 103:19, etc.); but to be allowed to see in vision the ineffable glory of the Almighty thus seated, was a rare favor. It was granted to Isaiah, to Daniel (marginal references), to Ezekiel Ezekiel 1:26, and in Christian times to Stephen Acts 7:56, and John Revelation 4:2.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 22:19. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne — This is a mere parable, and only tells in figurative language, what was in the womb of providence, the events which were shortly to take place, the agents employed in them, and the permission on the part of God for these agents to act. Micaiah did not choose to say before this angry and impious king, "Thy prophets are all liars; and the devil, the father of lies, dwells in them;" but he represents the whole by this parable, and says the same truths in language as forcible, but less offensive.
