1 Kings 22:30 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I will disguise myself, i.e. put off my imperial habit, that the Syrians may not know me, and direct their main force against me; which they will assuredly endeavour, as knowing that this war proceedeth from me, and is likely to die with me; and then thou shalt see that this man is a false prophet, and I shall have the success which I desire and expect, notwithstanding all his presages. Thy robes; thy royal robes; which thou mayest do without any danger, because thou art not the object either of the Syrians rage, or of this false prophecy.

1 Kings 22:30

30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
