📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of 1 Kings 22, King Ahab of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah are planning a military campaign against Syria, seeking advice from prophets. Ahab relies on his court prophets who give favorable predictions, but Jehoshaphat requests a prophet of the Lord, leading to Micaiah being brought forward. Micaiah then delivers this vision of the Lord on His throne to expose the deception and warn of divine judgment against Ahab's sinful ways.
