Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Kings 20:35

35-38. Smite me —This prophet is supposed ( 1 Kings 20:8 ) to have been Micaiah. The refusal of his neighbor to smite the prophet was manifestly wrong, as it was a withholding of necessary aid to a prophet in the discharge of a duty to which he had been called by God, and it was severely punished [ 1 Kings 20:8- : ], as a beacon to warn others (see on 1 Kings 20:8- : ). The prophet found a willing assistant, and then, waiting for Ahab, leads the king unconsciously, in the parabolic manner of Nathan ( 1 Kings 20:8- : ), to pronounce his own doom; and this consequent punishment was forthwith announced by a prophet (see on 1 Kings 20:8- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-39" class="com-number"
