18:16-20
Then Micaiah gave a proper prophecy, i.e. an actual word from the Lord, and it was not good. The king of Israel said such a word was all he expected, he did not believe or respond to the word. Micaiah then went on to say that ahab was being enticed into a foolish attack. A spirit volunteered to do the enticing.
18:21-27
So the means of the demonic enticement is made abundantly clear, but to no avail. Ahab was determined to press ahead. Zedekiah, seeking favour with Ahab, assaulted Micaiah, The situation is similar to the “trial” of Jesus. Micaiah is not swayed from his word.,he was confident in the Lord’s word.
18;28-34
So Ahab and Jehoshaphat went up to Ramoth Gilead. Ahab sought to get round the word by disguising himself and getting Jehoshaphat to dress as a king, hoping to deceive the enemy. However the ruse did not work, and Ahab was killed.
