Gill's Exposition
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets,.... Which the Jews take to be Micaiah, and so Josephus (u), which is probable; the same that had been with
Ahab more than once; and, whoever he was, it is not unlikely that he was the same, since Ahab knew him when his disguise was off, Kg1 20:41 , said unto his neighbour, in the word of the Lord, smite me, I pray thee; told his neighbour, that by the command of God he was ordered to bid him smite him, so as to wound him: and the man refused to smite him; being his neighbour, and perhaps a fellow prophet, and having an affection for him. (u) Antiqu. l. 8. c. 14. sect, 5.
