1 Kings 22:13

And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets [declare] good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak [that which is] good.

Ver. 13. The words of the prophets declare good.] Nihil assentatione suavius, nihil veritate gravius. See 2 Thessalonians 2:10,11 .

Let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word.] This he might counsel the prophet out of a carnal courtesy, as wishing well to him, as also out of a special desire that the war might go forward.
