shall we go. 1Ki 22:6

Go and prosper.This was strong irony; they were the precise words of the false prophets; but were spoken by Micaiah in such a tone and manner as at once shewed Ahab that he did not believe, but ridiculed these words of uncertainty. The reply of the Delphian oracle to Crosesus was as ambiguous as that returned to Pyrrhus, {Croesus Halym penetrans magnam pervertet opum vim,} "If Croesus crosses the Halys, he will overthrow a great empire." This he understood of the empire of Cyrus; the event proved it to be his own: he was deluded, yet the oracle maintained its credit. 1Ki 18:27 Re 9:14 2Ki 3:13 2Ch 18:14 Ec 11:9 Mt 26:45
