But Zedekiah went near The chief of the false prophets, who was much in the king's favour. Which way went the Spirit of the Lord, &c. In what manner went it? Contemptuous language as well as behaviour: as much as to say, How dare you prophesy directly contrary to what I have done, who have the Spirit of the Lord! Behold, thou shalt go into an inner chamber Into a secret place; to hide thyself For fear of being seized and punished as a false prophet, and as the great author and abetter of this pernicious war, and of Ahab's destruction. Probably he went with Ahab to the battle, after which he was glad to shelter himself where he could.
